Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 195
◈ 195. [Free exploration] Color
Thus, Kuilan and his bandit group were transferred to my command..
Since he comes from a bandit background, there will be some friction with the existing soldiers, but time will help them blend in..
On the carriage ride back to the mansion, I looked at Kuilan's stat window. Let's see.
[Kuilan (SR))]
- level : 40
- Title: Bandit King
- Occupation: Advanced martial artist
- Strength 30, Agility 40, Intelligence 15, Stamina 5 Horsepower 20
All other stats are decent. After all, physical strength is an issue..
‘My level is 40 and my stamina stat is 5……?’
No, the lowest stat in this game would be 5. I never thought it would be fixed at 5.
It's my first time recruiting him as an ally, so I'm a bit confused seeing his detailed stats for the first time..
‘It's really bad. It's lower than me. So, if you brush against it, it stretches out..’
This figure is lower than that of most wizards. If only this part can be resolved somehow, it would be good enough to be used as a first team unit..
[Possessed Skills]
> Passive: Shedding Maple Leaves
> Skill 1: Breaking Maple Leaves
> Skill 2: Nesting in Maple Leaves
> Ultimate: ??? (Open after 3rd job change))
As for the skill, it's the same as what I saw the last time I dealt with it..
Passive is a parrying counterattack, skill 1 is an armor-ignoring attack, and skill 2 is a speed and damage buff..
And the characteristics are…….
- Mounting characteristics (3/3)
> strong luck
> like a willow tree!
> Glass body (cannot be removed))
“Hoo?”
I groaned as I examined its characteristics. This is fun.
[strong luck]
- I'm very lucky. Chance rolls will never result in a major failure.
The martial arts class has low basic damage, but has a high critical probability. Even without separate correction, critical hits occur..
The problem is the critical multiplier.
For other occupations, the critical multiplier is basically 2.0. This means that when a critical hit occurs, the damage amplification amount is fixed to 2 times..
But the fighting value is 0.9~4.0..
What this means is that if you get a good critical hit, the damage increases up to 4 times, but if you are unlucky, it actually increases by 0.9 times. This means that it may be lower than the basic damage..
It’s not for nothing that fighters are less stable..
The job itself is very dangerous as it is a very close range dealer, but the damage is also random and jumps you..
But if you have this trait, [Strength].
‘Eliminates major failures. Minimal correction is applied to damage..’
In addition, as you progress through the game, various luck-related interactions appear..
Elements that require you to believe in the dice god and play keep appearing..
Kuilan can trust [Kang Un] and throw him in a place like this. It might be useful.
[like a willow tree!]
- I gained enlightenment during my training. Chance to evade increases by 10 percent.
This is an easy and good trait. In fact, it is an essential attribute that should never be unequipped for Kuilan, which extends when hit once..
and last.
[glass body]
- I was seriously injured as a child and it left lasting effects. Stamina stat is fixed to minimum (5).
A negative trait that cannot be dispelled. glass body.
‘Because of this, my stamina stats are like that.…….’
What happened in my childhood to end up like this? It would be great if we could just get rid of this, but it's a shame..
In addition, all of the bandits in the party under Kuilan were level 30 and R-rated. It is at a level that can be deployed into battle immediately..
‘This isn't bad.’
Now that the Shadow Troops have left Crossroads on another mission, this party of heroes will come in handy..
I arrived at the mansion and got off the carriage. Lucas got off the coach seat and grumbled..
“Now you're even taking bandits under your command... … Are you sure you don't mind, my lord??”
“I'm dissatisfied, Lucas.?”
“Of course I'm dissatisfied.”
“Because they kidnapped me?”
“It's big too…….”
Lucas let out a long sigh..
“The Shadow Unit was also a prisoner, but it was an Imperial soldier from the Aegis Special Forces. So it was okay. On the other hand, they are bandits who attack the people of the empire..”
“…….”
“The root… … These are people who prey on others. How can I trust you?”
I laughed softly.
“Lucas. You know the most famous pirate group in the southern seas of the continent??”
“Are you talking about the Rompeler Pirates? Of course I know.”
“That pirate group was originally a navy belonging to the Kingdom of Rompeler in the southern part of the continent. It's a case where a country goes bankrupt and they turn to pirates..”
Lucas was embarrassed. I continued..
“The Glory Knights, a symbol of honor and chivalry, have been around since the founding of our Everblack Empire.?”
“yes. Isn’t it the core and pride of the Imperial Army’s 1st Corps? When I was young, I wanted to join the Glory Knights..”
“I know that knights were originally a group of thieves.?”
“yes?”
“When the first emperor founded the empire, he brought together a band of thieves who had a grudge against the neighboring kingdom. The bandits who made a contribution in the war continued to devote themselves to the empire... … Now they are revered as the noblest knights..”
If the army loses its affiliation, it becomes a band of bandits.,
Also, if a band of thieves joins a powerful person and makes a major contribution, they may become an order of knights. That's the world people live in.
“It doesn't matter what you did before. When given the opportunity, what matters is how you live your life in the future..”
I grinned at Lucas..
“Lucas. I was a fucking brat until just a few months ago. But you didn’t give up on me and believed in me, right? Thanks to you, I am where I am today..”
“ah…….”
“Everyone needs a chance. The more people are in a corner, the more they should be given one last chance..”
I shrugged..
“I gave them that chance. That's it. We'll have to see if it's used properly..”
“If they can't give up their bandit habits,…….”
“Then I will expel you from this front. I promise you on my name.”
I will accept any talent needed for the strategy..
But that doesn't mean I'm a brat.
No matter how strong their combat power is, anyone who has a negative impact on the front line will be defeated at once. This is fundamental to being a commander..
“So don't worry too much.”
I patted Lucas on the back and strode into the mansion..
Lucas, who had been standing in a daze, hurriedly followed behind me..

next day. I summoned the hero characters to the mansion early in the morning..
First, the organization of the bandits' army was entrusted to Raina..
Raina will return to the imperial capital after three defensive battles, so I planned to use her sparingly by entrusting her with all the tasks she can until then..
‘If you're Rayna, the commander of the Imperial Army's magic corps, you'll brutally punish the bandits..’
He asked us not to be too harsh. Please behave just enough to show some discipline..
“I understand, Your Majesty. Toys to play with are always welcome.”
Reina grinned while saying something scary. Well, do it gently. Gently. Don't let the kids escape.
Afterwards, Margerita and Lily were also called..
Margerita was instructed to keep a close eye on new patients entering the temple..
It was the story of Kureha, Kuilan's older brother. At the moment, Kuilan's loyalty is still low, so it was necessary to take good care of Kureha..
I received from Lily the status of the production cooperatives that had progressed while I was away..
Things like artifact repairs or the status of equipment ordered from a general blacksmith shop. They're all going to visit anyway, so it's probably better to figure it out in advance..
After that, the main party members were gathered together. I nodded, looking around at the four people quickly gathered in the living room..
“In the afternoon, go on a free exploration to the Lake Kingdom dungeon..”
In fact, this may be more important than anything else..
“It didn't last too long. I need to check what state the dungeon is in..”
When I came back from Crossroads, I felt like I was talking about relieving my travel fatigue and all that, but now that I'm back, there are so many things that I just can't deal with. I need to get busy.
The party members were worried that I was overdoing it, but when I said, 'Don't talk too much and get ready!', they followed without a word..
It seems like everyone has slowly realized that once a fire is set, there is no point in trying to stop it..
While watching the party members gather their equipment, I gestured to Ader standing in the corner..
“Aide, Iricom.”
“Yes, my lord.!”
“There are a few things you need to do, first of all train the refugees so they can be used as laborers.…….”
After giving various instructions, I finally added:.
“……And, the most important thing.”
I was thrilled to see the interior of the drawing room decorated in the style of a flower garden with frills, lace, and various flowers..
“Restore the interior of this house to its original state..”
“……Until when?”
“Until I return from the dungeon today.”
“Lady Evangeline must be sad.…….”
That's exactly what I want!

[Now Loading… … Teleporting.]
[Tip - Don't neglect conquering dungeons! Dungeons are essential for leveling up heroes, farming items, and progressing the story..]

So, after a really long time.
flashing-!
Entered the dungeon.
After crossing the teleport gate, it was a familiar safety point, base camp. I looked around, breathing in the humid air unique to dungeons..
“Nothing much happened here while I was gone.?”
“yes. While the lord was away, we only attacked areas that had been cleared in advance, but there were no major changes to the dungeon itself..”
There are no noticeable changes at the base camp either. I was hoping that a lot of NPCs would have been added while I was gone..
“hey! Inum bastard-!”
At that time, a dwarf ran towards me from the corner of the base camp, his beard waving. It was the magic blacksmith Kelly Bay..
“Inum bastard! After entrusting the equipment request, I haven't even removed my nose for over a month! Where have you been?!”
“It’s been a while, father-in-law..”
Come to think of it, I requested to make equipment using the magic core of the vampire lord Selendion, but I went to the imperial capital without being able to find it..
I was somehow glad to see Kelly Bay, who was so angry. I grinned and shook her hand, then suddenly startled..
“…….”
“huh? Hey, why are you staring at me like that??”
wait for a sec.
There are four major races on the continent - elves, dwarves, mermaids, and werebeasts. And they each have a unique hair color..
Elves and fairies have green hair.
Mermaids, mermaids have blue hair.
Werebeasts and beastmen have red hair.
However, dwarves and dwarves…….
“…….”
I looked down at Kelly Bey's shiny round head and muttered..
“……bald head?”
“What a rude thing to say after seeing you for a long time, you crazy person.-!”
Kelly Bay got angry and swung the hammer at me..
Wow?! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make fun of you! Ash, this bastard is rich, but in that world, I too am worried about hair loss and am taking medicine! I understand how you feel, Kelly Bay.!
As I barely managed to avoid Kelly Bay's hammer swinging around, I suddenly saw a person sitting in the corner of the base camp..
Hair that had been bleached white without any color, no, as if all color had been drained out... … A woman wearing a straw robe.
“uh?”
I made a noise in surprise when I recognized the other person. The woman who looked at me smiled faintly..
“It's been a while, Ash..”
The dungeon merchant NPC who first guided us into the Lake Kingdom..
was unknown.
