Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 138
◈ 138. [STAGE 5] N grade
is a cruel game.
This is true in the sense that mistakes cannot be undone, but it is also true in the sense that humans are graded..
Rating.
Human values, classified as SSR-SR-RN.
Resources in this game are limited. Equipment, items, and experience points are clearly finite..
To clear, it must be distributed efficiently..
Ultimately, resources are concentrated on high-level characters with higher talents..
Good equipment is provided, priority is given to item acquisition, and experience points are collected..
The gap widens.
Between high and low levels, an unbridgeable gap appears..
The difference in talent is real. It is an undeniable fact.
But what makes the difference is ultimately the player's choice..
While high-level characters become the main characters on stage and are praised as the saviors of the world..
The majority of low-grade characters, especially the lowest grade N-grade characters,.
Without even receiving a fair chance, I was used as a meat shield, a throwaway horse, and a cannon fodder... … used and discarded.
Dead, injured, or worse.
I leave behind the stage lonely in the shadows..
…….
That's just one glimpse of the countless cruelties this game has..
***
Therefore, N grade must be proven.
There's only one chance.
High- level characters continue to receive opportunities even if they fail, but that luxury does not happen to N-level characters..
A moment thrown into battle.
We must seize that first and last opportunity.
Useful.
It's useful.
the value of life.
have to show.
You have to show the world that you are not just a meat shield, an outcast, or a cannon fodder..
To get out of the shadows and into the light.
Because everyone wants to be in the spotlight.
Because everyone wants to be the main character.
everyone…….
Because I live with that dream.
***
In a war against vampires, human numbers are meaningless..
Rather, if you become the target of bloodsucking, it only becomes a means of recovering stamina for monsters..
It is better to leave out the regular soldiers and deal with a small number of elites..
Ash gave that instruction, and Lucas also thought it was reasonable..
While Ash was alone with the Vampire King, command of the front line was transferred to Lucas..
Lucas had the regular soldiers retreat to the rear while the vampires were climbing the castle wall, and tried to prepare for battle with the hero party..
But before the regular soldiers could finish retreating, the vampires arrived at the castle walls..
《That's a lot.》
Seeing all the humans on the castle wall, the vampires - no, the predators - all swallowed their saliva..
《How long is the sacrament??》
《All the humans in the Lake Kingdom are like corpses, so they don't even taste good..》
《Let’s suck fresh blood to our heart’s content..》
“…….”
Wow.
In front of the monsters that were talking and choking, Lucas held his sword..
We can't let them attack regular soldiers..
To a vampire, blood and life are military supplies..
The amount of damage this side suffers is a benefit to them. Damage to regular soldiers must be reduced as much as possible..
but.
‘……You can't block them all at the same time.’
Lucas glanced at the butler and the two vampires dressed as maids..
alpha and beta.
Vampire General - The highest-ranking entity just below the Vampire Lord..
‘Our core force must deal with those two..’
Training was conducted in advance assuming that Alpha and Beta would be opponents. You can't change the squad now..
In the end, you have to stop five ordinary vampires,
“Sir! Leave it to us!”
“……Dion.”
these.
It is a surplus force that cannot become the elite..
Lucas sighed as he saw Dion and his five subordinates step forward first. Dion raised his voice..
“In the first place, our role was to kill time by blocking regular vampires, right?!”
“…….”
“You can do it! I trained hard too.!”
That's right. However, things have changed.
‘This is not a situation where only five vampires have to be stopped. Regular soldiers who are retreating must also be protected..’
The difficulty of the mission has increased by two orders of magnitude..
Is it right to entrust this kind of work to the Dion mercenaries, who still have little experience??
‘What judgment would you have made if you were there??’
Lucas shook his head violently..
Ash trusted Lucas and gave him command. In that case, you shouldn't just cling to Ash like a child forever..
The vampires are right around the corner. It was time to make a decision..
“I give this order as acting commander. The big strategy will be as instructed by His Majesty Prince Ash..”
Lucas glared at Beta, who was slowly approaching, dragging his ax across the floor..
“First of all, I will stop that monster maid..”
Beside him, Alpha was following, casting blood magic..
“Evangeline. You must stop that butler, the blood wizard..”
“Please just leave it to me.~!”
Evangeline adjusted her shield and smiled..
“God Hand. Body bag. assist both of us.”
God Hand and Body Bag just nodded with stern faces..
“Jupiter. Junior. Damian. Old girl. Skull. This is an attack team. Dynamically select the optimal target and attack at any time..”
2 wizards and 3 snipers are formed as an attack team..
You will take down the vampires one by one while the rest of the party forms a defensive line..
Everyone silently checked their magic power and equipment..
“The rest of the Old Hunters and all of Dion's mercenaries..”
Lucas looked around at all the remaining members and nodded..
“Prevents regular vampires. However, don't be too proactive..”
The veterans of the Old Hunters all nodded, and Dion and the mercenaries grinned and slapped their weapons on their shields. Bang bang!
“It is different from the situation assumed in advance. They will try to kill the regular soldiers who are still retreating first, not you..”
It is natural to avoid confrontation with hero characters and target weak ordinary soldiers..
“You protect the regular soldiers while they retreat... … Keep this in mind. Your life comes first.”
Lucas said repeatedly to the regular vampire counterpart..
“Vampires are different from regular monsters. Very clever... … And they are evil. If they see an opening, they will try to kill you first..”
Lucas looked around at everyone and nodded..
“Stop them as much as possible and respond appropriately to the situation..”
“yes!”
“good. All, sortie!”
With his bright blue eyes streaming through his headgear, Lucas put on his helmet..
“If we can stop these guys, we will win! let's go-!”
The hero characters grabbed their weapons and started running towards their enemies..
Dion and the Dion mercenaries are wow! He screamed and jumped towards the five regular vampires who were approaching him..
***
“No matter what happens, maintain your formation and fight! If we scatter, we die!”
Dion shouted, clutching a silver dagger in both hands. Dion's mercenaries nodded at the same time..
How much training have you had to move as one body?.
Dion and the mercenaries knew it well. Each of them is insignificant.
However, when the five come together, they can create a synergy that is much stronger than the sum of their individual parts..
It's enough to stop even that powerful vampire..
however. It was just as Lucas said..
Vampires were clever and evil..
They didn't even care about the Dion mercenaries' cordon in the first place..
He dodged the defense line and rushed at the regular soldiers behind it..
“no!”
“had to be prevented……!”
Let's easily overcome the empty screams of humans.
Five vampires rushed towards the regular soldiers who were still retreating below the castle wall..
Phuwak-!
Blood sprayed everywhere..
The regular soldiers also had a lot of experience on the front lines..
In particular, the last ones remaining in the rear were the Twilight Legion..
They were not just veterans, but veterans who had survived hundreds of battles with monsters..
Damn it!
But the shield bends like a stick of taffy,
Well done!
The armor is torn apart like a piece of paper..
Quack-!
And the nape of the neck is bitten.
The five vampires put their heads down on the necks of the humans and greedily sucked their blood..
The five ordinary soldiers who became victims died suddenly without even being able to scream..
《iced coffee…….》
With blood dripping from the corner of its mouth, a vampire raised its head and muttered quietly..
《It's not enough, it's not enough…….》
In an instant, the human corpse, which had dried up like an old tree, was thrown carelessly on the floor and the vampire turned to look for its next prey..
“profit……!”
“I'll take my time, you retreat quickly!”
The leader of the Twilight Legion shouted, raising his mace. And that became the old man's will.
Wow-!
A vampire dressed in armor lowered his long sword..
The mace of the leader of the Twilight Legion was shattered by that blow..
In addition, the area from the shoulder down to the waist was cut diagonally..
“nice… … omg.”
After joining in Stage 2, the veteran soldier, who had taken charge of commanding the general soldiers during four defensive battles, had a vain and miserable end..
The body, broken in two, fell backwards. The vampire who killed the old soldier lowered her head to the floor and swallowed the blood..
“Oh my god!”
“These damn monsters dare to lead……!”
Seeing this, the eyes of other Twilight Legion veterans turned around..
The soldiers who were retreating all drew their weapons and turned back..
“This is not the time! retreat! You must retreat! Holy shit, guys.!”
Dion screamed at the top of his lungs..
“Retreat-!”
But the shout had already stopped reaching. The soldiers, enraged by the death of their captain, gave up retreating and rushed at the vampires..
Of course, the old soldiers knew too.
Having experienced countless battles, I knew very well that there was no chance of victory in attacking these vampires..
But in the face of the death of the captain who had been with him all his life,.
They are too old to turn their eyes away from death and run back to life..
And I had to pay the price.
Sigh! Pukak! Phuwak……!
a massacre occurred.
The old soldiers who had soaked the walls of this castle for decades with the blood of monsters, now soaked the walls with their own blood..
In no time, the top of the castle wall became a field of corpses. Up there the vampires held a feast..
blood.
flesh.
Swallow, chew, and greedily.
“Hey, hey……!”
In the face of the death of those who had shared joys and sorrows until just yesterday,.
The coolness of Dion's mercenaries was also evaporating. Hessen, the warrior in charge of the vanguard, was the first to give reason to his anger..
“Fuck you, you vampire bastards.-!”
“No, Hesse! If you stick out alone……!”
Hessen kicked the ground and rushed towards the nearest vampire..
“Maintain formation! Be cool! Damn it, Hessen.!”
Dion reached out to grab Hessen's back, but it was too late..
“Wow-!”
Hessen ran out holding a silver long sword and slashed at the vampire in front of him..
Hessen's level is 25.
In the meantime, I have cut down countless monsters in that hellish dungeon..
Maybe I was confident deep down. No matter how much of a vampire the opponent is, you can give them at least one hit..
Zeng-!
But the silver sword hit the empty floor, not the vampire..
‘uh?’
When the embarrassed Hessen raised his head.
The vampires were surrounding Hessen as if they were waiting..
Yes, there is no other expression that fits better than that..
As soon as the Hessians came running out, they surrounded them as if they had been waiting, and they grinned..
Showing sharp fangs stained red with blood.
“Oh my, shit…….”
Sigh! Puuk!
The vampires' swords and claws penetrated through the cracks in the Hessian armor..
Hessen, who was coughing up blood from the corner of his mouth, barely turned his head towards Dion and his colleagues and muttered softly..
“Sorry, guys..”
The next moment, the fangs of five vampires simultaneously stuck into Hessen's neck..
