Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 187
◈ 187. [STAGE 7] There is no problem on the southern front (3)
Hwangdo South Gate.
Standing next to a loaded carriage, I looked back at the great city..
“Now, bye bye to this city.”
After possessing this body, my world was all about Crossroads..
It was all about a simple structure of monsters, dungeons, and villages. But when I came here, that perception changed..
this world is wide.
It's so wide that I can't even fathom it..
And the Monster Front is the place that protects this whole world..
‘Let’s go back, to the days of strategy.’
It was fun to go out for a while, but you shouldn't forget your duty..
I climbed into the carriage, thinking of my men waiting for me at the southernmost tip of the continent..
The ten soldiers and two knights who were my escorts, and Elise also rode on their own horses and carriages..
“Okay, let's go…….”
I was about to say, “Let’s go,” but that was then..
Shut up! Compactly!
A woman was seen coming out from inside the imperial gate, panting. I was a little surprised to see that person, but then she smiled slightly..
It was a serenade.
“ha! ha……!”
Serenade stopped next to the carriage, bent down and gasped. Beads of sweat stand on the tip of her slender chin. In what hurry did she come?.
After opening the carriage door, I bowed down and looked at the serenade..
“serenade. I came to say hello?”
“haha… … prince, royal.”
I mumbled a serenade while catching my breath..
“I am your business partner.?”
It was a random story, but I accepted it right away..
“Also my dance partner.”
“I was your fiancee.”
“We are also comrades who fought together at this party..”
“……Then, you are qualified enough.?”
smile.
Serenade smiled with a somewhat refreshed face..
“I won't give up on your highness.”
I liked that smile, so I looked at her face quietly..
“I was always anxious that I might be abandoned by His Majesty. But, yeah. Now that you've already been abandoned, there's nothing to worry about anymore. No matter what I do from now on, the only thing left to do is to become closer to Your Majesty..”
Serenade came one step closer to me. There is no wavering in the silver gaze that looks up at you..
“No matter how many times you throw me away, I will continue to approach you. And I will become such a wonderful person that your Majesty will have no choice but to look back at me..”
“…….”
“If you leave for the end of this world, I will follow you to the end of the world. I will forever follow your footsteps with a dark heart in my heart..”
I smiled because that bold shout was cute..
As soon as Serenade finished speaking, her face turned bright red and she lowered her head..
“that… … I wanted to tell you this…….”
I covered my mouth and laughed, took Serenade's hand, and lightly kissed the back of her hand..
I smiled at Serenade, who was shaking her shoulders in surprise..
“i'll wait. at the end of the world.”
“…….”
“See you again, serenade.”
After squeezing her slender hand one last time, I turned around and got into the carriage..
‘……Holy moly.’
How did these awkward movements and comments come out automatically? Ash Kim Is this a habit ingrained in this child??
The carriage set off. Serenade stood quietly at the south gate of the imperial capital and continued to wave his hand..
I also waved my hand out the window..
We will meet again anyway. Because there is a lot of work to be done with Winter Silver in the future..
The road quickly became distant. Once the serenade was out of sight, Elysee, who was riding right next to my carriage, muttered:.
“But didn't you two break up??”
“It's just starting from scratch.”
“I guess cheaters use comments like that when they dump their partner.……?”
“no it's not. The prince is sincere..”
Elise let out a light sigh..
“I just… … I just hope that the Serenade girl is happy..”
“Me too.”
sincerely. hope she is happy.
So, I'm leaving to protect the world again..

“It takes about 3 weeks to reach Crossroads by horseback..”
After riding the carriage for several hours, the group stopped at the first train station and rested for a while..
The driver who escorted me told me the approximate schedule. I stuck out my tongue..
“It's scary far, really..”
“The further south you go, the less paved the road is. At least up to the central part of the continent, you can go south by changing horses at a station like here, but once you enter the border, you cannot enjoy that luxury..”
So, the group is currently going down at a fairly fast pace..
You have to go as fast as possible in places where the road is well paved and there is a station..
‘It's already been more than ten days since I left Crossroads. In this situation, an additional 3 weeks?’
The wires have been empty for over a month..
I think Lucas will do well, and a reinforcement party including Raina is also here..
I don't think there will be any major problems with the operation of the wire itself.…….
‘also… … I can't help being anxious…….’
It's been a while since I opened the system window and turned on the next stage enemy information window..
Enemy information was being displayed as if the party members had gone on an autonomous expedition..
[Enemy Information - STAGE 7]
- Lv.32 Giant Salamander: 10 pieces
- Lv.24 Salamander: 410 pieces
- Until start: 10 days
The next stage is the Salamander Corps.
They are fire-breathing salamanders..
It's not an easy opponent since you can't use the kill zone strategy because they have to burn the wooden fence, but it's much easier than the gargoyle-vampire-wyvern guys they had a battle with recently..
‘Is it 10 days later?.’
It is certain that they will fight a defensive battle without me..
I sighed heavily..
My kids, I'm sure they can do well.?
***
ten days later.
Southern Front Crossroads. on the castle wall.
“…….”
Lucas swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the field outside the castle wall, which was turning into a sea of fire..
Thump-thump-thump-
The monster that invaded this time was the Salamander Corps..
Among them, the giant fire salamander and giant salamander that serve as boss monsters are each as big as a large house..
The Giant Salamander moved its heavy legs and approached the middle of the field, lowered its posture, and fired red fireballs from three holes on its back..
pop! Bubbling bubbling!
It was like a giant biocannon..
There were a total of ten of these guys. A bunch of fireballs they shot all at once fell on the castle wall..
It looked like the entire castle wall would burn down if it was hit directly, but fortunately there was a means of defense on this side as well..
“Hmm!”
Reinforcement troops dispatched from the Imperial Capital. Party of 5 magic corps officers.
Leader Raina created a huge tornado, and his party members assisted..
Return to school! Going to school-!
Fireballs blocked by a huge tornado scattered in the air..
The soldiers screamed as fireballs and wind collided overhead, spraying sparks in all directions..
Raina, who kept calling tornadoes, got annoyed..
“Look, Acting Commander! How long are you going to keep blocking me like this? This one also doesn't have infinite magic power.!”
“…….”
Lucas kept his mouth shut and glared at the giant salamanders..
During the defensive battle here, almost all of the monsters engaged in close combat..
Even if there were entities projecting firepower from a distance, they were all within this range. It was possible to respond with counter-fire warfare..
However, the Giant Salamanders had a much longer range..
A fireball bombardment was being fired unilaterally from outside, out of reach of the cannons on the castle walls..
There were only three means of attack that could reach those guys from the walls here..
taang-!
First, Damien's sniping.
Damian fired two shots from his magic gun [Black Queen], knocking down two of my Giant Salamanders..
Ash told me to shoot only three times before leaving, so I saved the last shot and continued sniping with other weapons, but the Giant Salamander's tenacity was stronger than I thought..
They didn't go down well with other magic guns..
Sigh.!
Second is Junior’s magic.
There are three magical attributes that Junior can handle: lightning, wind, and water..
Among them, Junior fired a water attribute spell that is the opposite of flame..
A strong stream of water repeatedly hit the Giant Salamander's body, and before it could hold out for long, the Giant Salamander let out a dull scream and fell down..
There were three Giant Salamanders defeated like that..
“haha! Cluck cluck cluck!”
but.
Projecting long-distance magic at an opponent so far away that even a cannon could not reach it was, of course, a strain on the body. Junior coughed up blood profusely..
“…….”
Reina looked at this with disapproval..
The third and final means was Raina. However, Raina was in charge of defense in this defense battle, blocking the enemy's fireballs..
The Giant Salamander wasn't the only one sending out fireballs..
Regular Salamanders also approached and continued to spray fire. Regular soldiers were grabbing whoever they could see, but the attacks continued..
The moment you mobilize Raina for an attack, the top of the castle wall will become a sea of fire..
In the end, there are only two possible attack methods. Damian has run out of ammo from his magic gun, and Junior has run out of condition..
“……I can't help it.”
Gritting his teeth, Lucas pressed his helmet onto his head..
“The remaining five Giant Salamanders go out and deal with them. Evangeline!”
“I was waiting for you, man.!”
Evangeline smiled and adjusted her spear and shield. Evangeline was dressed in her customary thick golem armor..
“Are you going to go out there alone, Acting Commander? Are you sane??”
Reina asked in shock..
Outside the walls was a sea of fire. In addition, there were still more than a hundred regular salamanders left..
Two knights would run out to a place like that? Am I sane??
“If you have any other good means, please let me know, Sir Reyna.?”
Lucas, who drew the large long sword newly given to him by Ash - Karma Eater, stared at Rayna with cold eyes..
“So, our means of attack are gone, so are we going to continue to be bombarded like this??”
“…….”
“If the cannonball doesn't reach you, then you have to hit it back with your body. can you star?”
Reina clicked her tongue, thinking it was the muscle-brained knight's way..
But Lucas had a point..
I couldn't just sit like this forever and block the fireballs..
‘Anyway, it's just the two of us going out…….’
1Reina shook her head as she watched the two knights who went down to the floor and mounted their respective horses..
Whether it is an expression of confidence or the recklessness of youth will soon be revealed..
Lucas and Evangeline, who were on their respective horses while waiting for the castle gate to open, exchanged glances. Evangeline grinned mischievously..
“I wish I had a few more reliable melee warrior companions..”
“I know. I wish there were just three more.”
5If you become a member, there is only one party..
If you can form a close combat party made up of strong warriors, it will be of great use in the future..
Suddenly, the fallen personnel from the last vampire defense battle passed before my eyes..
If only a few more people had survived then.…….
“…….”
Lucas closed his eyes tightly, blinking away any distracting thoughts, looked at the top of the castle wall, and shouted..
“Damian! I ask for cover.!”
“Please leave it to me!”
“Lily! Please bet all the artifacts you can on us.!”
“Activates!”
“Margerita! Shield magic please!”
“blessing of light……!”
“And, Junior!”
Lucas pointed his index finger at Junior, who was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth..
“rest!”
“…….”
Junior's expression darkened. Raina, who was watching this scene, smiled without knowing it..
Kugu Palace-
The gate was opened,
“Hey! let's go!”
“Yaho-! It's salamander hunting.-!”
Lucas and Evangeline jumped on their horses and rushed out of the castle gate..
Hundreds of monsters spewed out flames at once towards the two knights..
