Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 198
◈ 198. [[Free exploration] A ragtag group of people
next morning.
Two parties entered the dungeon..
It was our main party and a five-person party from Kuilan's bandits..
“No, our job wasn't fighting monsters on the castle walls.?!”
When brought into the dark dungeon, Kuilan's complexion immediately turned pale..
“It's humid! It's dark! Spooky! Where are we again?!”
“It's a dungeon, a dungeon. I saw monsters.”
Lake Kingdom Dungeon Area 3. [North of the outer castle].
I pointed to the inside of the dark, dark dungeon..
“Here, you can fight against the next defensive monsters in advance..”
“There was nothing in the contract that said we had to fight in a place like this.!”
“Hey, what are you talking about? It's written so well here.”
I was worried that people would say that, so I prepared the contract in advance and brought it with me. I waved the contract I had taken out of my arms..
“Here in the corner, in slightly smaller letters. It's clearly written, right? And your signature is here too? I can't see it?”
“nice… … Ugh?!”
Kuilan looked at the contract with a disappointed expression. I smiled sinisterly in front of him. You should have looked at it carefully, my friend. Kelkekelkell.
“eww… … Ugh, uhhh……!”
Kuilan looked back and forth between the inside of the dungeon and the safe base with a blank look on his face..
The other bandits who were watching Kuilan sighed and approached me..
“sorry. Our captain needs to be scared.…….”
“He's more scared than he looks. Please understand.”
“No, how could the leader of a bandit group who was so fearless and aggressive against the imperial army be such a coward? It doesn't make sense..”
The answer to my question was simple.
“Our captain looks down on imperial generals when the enemy is human... … Well, I'm really scared of ghosts and monsters..”
“ah…….”
Yeah, that type. A person who is particularly weak towards the occult.
“I also hate narrow, dark places. But this place is narrow and dark, and they say it's a stronghold of monsters.…….”
“I was so intimidated by that muscular man that was over 2 meters tall that I started shaking. This is it.?”
I clicked my tongue..
Evangeline, who is the shortest member of our party, and Damien, who is very skinny, are not scared and fight well even though they are young and short. Pay attention to your size, bandit king. I also pay my salary.
“Don't worry. We will take a close look.”
The other bandits smiled servilely and bowed down to me. Then he ran towards Kuilan and started beating him hard..
“Are you out of your mind, boss?! What kind of disgrace is this?!”
“It's a probationary period for our punishment unit! If you don't do well here, you might be sent back to execution.!”
“The other person is that infamous bastard prince.!”
“I'll just have to wait for half a year and then switch to a full-time job! If you want to be scared, be scared after that.!”
After being repeatedly beaten by his subordinates, Kuilan finally mustered up the courage to step forward. His face is still pale, but.
“Joe, that's good. Let's take a look.”
“That's it, boss.!”
“We will assist you! Let's get it done together!”
Kuilan and the bandits, cheering each other on, took the lead and entered Area 3..
And it doesn't take long to walk,
Slurp slurp!
Splat! slump!
Slime started rolling.
[North of the outer castle - Room 1]
- Annihilate your enemies!
- Lv.12 Normal Slime: 20
A level 12 slime with no characteristics. The number is twenty.
This is enough for the Kuilan party to warm up. I watched with slight anticipation..
and,
“Ahhhhh!”
“It's a monster ah!”
The four bandits turned back and started running away.…….
My blood pressure soared. Without realizing it, I grabbed the back of my neck and screamed..
“Hey, you ragtag bunch of bastards! What are you doing?-!”
What were those words you were confidently saying just a moment ago? We consoled each other as if we would do well.!
“Ha, but! This is my first time seeing such a monster.?!”
“I've never heard of it! Is it a soul drinker that absorbs souls from the swamp??!”
“no! It's definitely a devil that sucks out the brains of its victims! It's brain drain!”
Don't be scary! They're just slime, slime! Level 12! Since you are level 30, you can explode it with just a tap with a striking weapon.!
However, the bandits were panicked when they saw these monsters for the first time and ran towards us in a panic..
“…….”
The only one who did not run away and stood there was the party leader, Kuilan..
I blinked in surprise. He acted like the most cowardly person, but wasn't his reputation as the Bandit King in vain??
“all…….”
At that time, Kuilan slowly turned towards us and muttered with a tearful face..
“My legs… … Not moving…….”
“Was I so scared that I couldn’t move? It’s all different, really.!”
At that time, a slime came close to Kuilan and lightly hit his body with a squeak..
puck.
“Wow!-!”
Then Kuilan vomited blood and fell to the ground. No, is this a true story??!
Kuilan rolled down in front of me and muttered softly, coughing up blood..
“Oh, I'm out of luck today…….”
“Come to your senses, you sunfish! Don't faint if you get hit by that.!”
However, Kuilan lost consciousness. oh my god. Is this a glass body with 5 stamina stats??
“Before recruiting him, he fought well, but why did he become such a jerk as soon as he was recruited?……?”
“So, I told you, my lord. This is what happens when we recruit bandits who have no roots..”
Lucas, who was watching this little guy from behind, clicked his tongue..
“I think this recruitment was a failure..”
“Big, big……!”
I can understand how the front office of a professional sports team feels when they get criticized every year for making a mistake in scouting players..
No, I mean his performance was good! The data wasn't bad either! Did you know it would turn out like this from the first game??!
‘I couldn't think of it. Bandits, they are familiar with PVP, but they have almost no PVE proficiency.!’
You may be used to wielding weapons against people and fighting viciously with imperial troops, but.
It's like my first time dealing with such full-scale monsters of this type..
If you think of it as a party of 5 new recruits suddenly thrown into a depth 3 dungeon, it would be correct..
Yes, this is my first time seeing this kind of sticky darkness, and it can be like this when I see monsters for the first time. It can be like this…….
‘What I expected was a skilled party appropriate for the level.…….’
The road to teaching is difficult. Lucas and Evangeline stepped in front of me as I sighed inwardly..
“We'll take care of these guys for now, my lord. be in maintenance.”
“Yes, please. knight duo.”
The two had hastily airlifted blunt weapon equipment from the blacksmith shop in Crossroads..
Lucas had a one-handed mace, and Evangeline had a long-handled war hammer. Although the grade is not high, it will show sufficient power against slimes..
Lucas stepped forward with a cheerful expression on his face, but Evangeline, who followed him, had a gloomy expression on her face..
“Ugh… … When do you dream of owning your own home?…….”
I guess the fact that I tore down the interior yesterday is still on my mind..
Except for Evangeline's room and a few guest rooms, all of the interior was restored to its original state. I've been so depressed ever since..
‘……I'll have to comfort you later..’
However, even though she is in a depressed state, Evangeline's PVE proficiency is already extremely high. Not to mention Lucas..
The two knight duos began to crush the slimes, swinging their respective blunt weapons..
puck! Powok!
The battle itself is definitely different from yesterday..
Lucas' mace crushed the slime, and Evangeline's war hammer crushed them flat..
‘I was worried because both of their equipment proficiency was focused on their main weapons, but they are good at using blunt weapons as well..’
When I hit it with a striking weapon, the slimes exploded as easily as if yesterday's classic was a lie..
The bandits were amazed as they watched the sight..
“and… … As expected, the drivers are on a different level..”
“That scary Soul Drinker and Brain Drain so easily.…….”
“It's literally like watching a duel in mythology.……!”
“No, it's just slime. You cowardly bastards.”
I sighed heavily, took out a bottle of potion from my arms, and poured it into Kuilan's stunned face..
“Wake up, sunfish.”
“Wow! Whoa whoa whoa!”
Kuilan opened his eyes. Maybe it's because the HP bar is ridiculously thin, but I just poured a little regular potion on it and it revived right away..
“Hey, punishment unit. attention.”
As I growled lowly, Kuilan and the bandits immediately lined up in front of me..
“Listen straight. This is not a kindergarten. It's a monster front. And the reason I gave you money is because I need immediate combatants..”
“…….”
“If you're going to act like a freshly drafted new recruit, eh? There's no reason for me to hire convicts like you.?”
If you're going to train them by teaching them step by step from A to Z from the beginning, you can just raise new recruits. There's no reason to bring in those who were criminals in the name of a punishment unit..
“If you're going to tremble because you're scared of monsters, pack your bags and go back to the cell right now. I will pay the price for your sins fairly according to the laws of the empire..”
“…….”
“But if you don't want to be in a prison cell and want to get your sentence reduced with confidence while receiving good money, do it right. I ask you to show your skills worthy of the name of the Bandit King and his royal guard..”
I clicked my tongue and pointed at the flattened slimes over there..
“Those slimes are much weaker monsters than the imperial troops you've been dealing with. Don't be scared and fight. okay?”
An SR-grade fighter and two R-grade warriors. Two R-rated thieves.
If you can utilize it properly, it will be a useful party. I didn't plan on throwing you out right away just because you did a little digging in the first battle..
‘But when will this become useful?…….’
Despite my bruises, fear remained in the eyes of the bandit king party as they looked towards the monsters. What should I do with these idiots?……?
It was then.
Tiring! ring!
Suddenly, system notification sounds rang continuously. huh? Puzzled, I opened the system window..
[North of the outer castle - Room 1]
- Annihilate your enemies!
- Lv.14 Normal Slime: 28
- Lv.15 three-color slime: 16
- Lv.15 Acidic Slime: 24
- Lv.20 Normal Slime: 30
Suddenly, waves 2 through 5 were updated at once..
“what…….”
This [north of the outer castle] is a dungeon where waves of monsters are continuously blocked in one long dungeon room. It's normal for waves to come one after another..
Splat! slump!
Four waves began to arrive at once..
A huge number of slimes, close to 100, poured in over the castle walls on all sides. What is this?!
‘No matter how low the level the slime is, this number is……!’
Damian and Junior, who were standing on either side of me, immediately prepared for battle..
Damian pulled out two Cerberus weapons with both hands, and Junior chanted magic..
bang! bang! taang-!
flashing-!
The magic bullet pierced the slimes and knocked them down, and the lightning magic struck the swarm of slimes..
But there were too many slimes.
Moreover, as they were crawling up from under the castle walls, the magic guns and magic blind spots did not work properly, so I had no choice but to allow them to approach..
In an instant, slimes surrounded us..
“lord!”
1Lucas and Evangeline, who had gone out to clear the Burn Wave, were trying to come back in a hurry, but the two knights were also surrounded by a swarm of slimes and became isolated..
I gritted my teeth and swung my staff, summoning a blade of magic to my back. Damn, I let my guard down because it was an easy place.…….
Cheolpuk!
A swarm of slimes jumped towards us all at once..
Even if my soul wasn't absorbed or my brain was fast, it was obvious that if I were to be devoured by those guys, I would end up in a terrible situation. Holy shit!
at that time,
Taat-!
The sunfish flew up..
pop!
Bubbling bubbling!
Kuilan jumped into the air and threw his fists and feet in all directions like a gale..
Every time his fist touched the slimes, they were crushed like clay, and the slimes that were kicked exploded like firecrackers..
Kuilan, who exploded a dozen slimes in the blink of an eye, spun around and landed lightly on his seat..
His red dog's head rotated in a circle following the movement and landed..
“Sooo… … punishment…….”
A savory curse came out of the Bandit King's mouth..
“No matter how scared we are, we must protect our water owner.……!”
chuck!
Place one fist in front of your chest and extend one fist forward. The body's center of gravity is lowered.
Kuilan, who took a unique martial arts stance, shouted to his subordinates..
“Guys, hold your ground! Gotta make money! We need a lot of money!”
At the party leader's shout, the bandits flashed venom in their eyes and thrust forward their blunt weapons..
I laughed out loud when I saw that..
Still, it looks like they are not useless idiots..
“Let’s try converting to full-time employees too.-!”
Shouting, the Bandit King party ran in all directions, and a horde of monsters flew over their heads..
