I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 20

◈ 020. [STAGE 1] Killzone (2)

“Ugh, uhhh!”

“How do you catch such a big monster?……!”

The soldiers on the castle wall were thrown into confusion by the appearance of the boss monster..

The firing of cannons and ballistas stopped, and the tightly maintained fire net suddenly became loose..

Ahhh!

Ahhh-!

Living armor that passed through the loose fire net poured in through the front and left and right sides of the wooden exterior wall..

These monsters are out to kill the nearest human being..

Toward Jupiter, who fainted from the shock of falling from a horse..

“shit! I need to form a square!”

“protect the wizard!”

Jupiter's four party members rushed over and formed a square in front of Jupiter..

However, they also suffered quite a few injuries due to falling from a horse. Moreover, all the wild horses ran away..

The end of a guerrilla unit that has lost its mobility is as obvious as fire..

‘Die!’

I gritted my teeth..

You can't lose Jupiter or your hero party in a place like this.!

“damian!”

Damian looked at me. I urgently pointed towards Jupiter Party..

“Shoot the Living Armors coming to the Jupiter party.!”

“yes!”

Damian didn't hesitate and swung the direction of the crossbow..

Fu shoot! Fu shoot! Push shot-!

Snipe shots were fired in succession..

puck! What a joke!

The arrows of One Strike, One Kill accurately pierced the living armor..

But the problem is... … Damian is a more sophisticated sniper than anyone else in the world, but his shooting speed is not that fast..

Ahhh-!

There were too many Living Armors pouring in through the loose kill zone, and it was impossible to stop them all with Damian's sniping..

Lucas shouted at me..

“majesty! You must support the Jupiter Party by rotating the cannon's fire net.!”

“no!”

I flatly refused..

“The fire net must remain as it is! When the kill zone disappears, the number of people escaping increases.!”

“but!”

“Take care of the restoration of the fire net first! The soldiers were all dazed.!”

I ran to the soldier who was struggling from the cannon in front of the castle wall and hit him on the back..

“Wake up, you idiots! I'm saying don't be scared just because that monster is a bit big.!”

Then the soldier immediately came to his senses..

“omg?! Sorry, sorry, your majesty!”

“Eh?”

Rather, I became dazed. what? Does my back smash really sting that much??

As I looked down at my palm, I suddenly realized the reason..

My passive skill, [Indomitable Commander]!

‘Soldiers within 10m around me will recover from mental abnormalities..’

I looked at the soldiers shaking in fear on the wall..

Is it possible that recovery from mental abnormalities not only corrects debuff magic but also just a shaken mentality??

‘So, if I run around the battlefield fearfully, I can restore the soldiers' mental health to normal.?’

As soon as I thought about it, I made a quick decision. I glanced back at Lucas..

“lucas!”

“Please state.”

“I'll take care of calming the soldiers and restoring the kill zone! Lucas, you!”

I hesitated for a moment, but I finally spit it out..

“Take charge of the rescue team.”

“……!”

“Open the gate and go out to rescue Jupiter's party..”

We can't lose an SR grade wizard here. never!

And the only person who could enter that hell filled with monsters and save Jupiter was inevitably the main character, Lucas..

Lucas quickly scanned the battlefield..

Even now, the Living Armors that had escaped the kill zone were approaching with frightening force..

The armored monsters let out a terrible roar and rushed towards the Jupiter party..

Go into the grave and rescue your comrades..

This is an extremely reckless command..

“Yes, Your Highness!”

But Lucas nodded, looking at me with an unwavering face..

“I'll be there right away.”

“……request. lucas.”

If we are not careful, we may lose all of our SR level wizards and SSR level knights..

But I decided to trust Lucas. As the main character, this guy decided to bet on his natural luck..

Lucas flew down the stairs and down the castle wall. Please, main character!

I quickly ran to the outside of the castle wall and hit the soldiers on the back..

“Come to your senses, come to your senses, you idiots! Are you going to leave everything like this?!”

Wow! Wow!

The soldiers who were hit by my devastating back smash all jumped up and came to their senses..

“Ouch?!”

“Tagawat!”

“Me, Your Highness? what…….”

“Come to your senses and shoot the cannon! Can't keep the kill zone straight?!”

I ran up the wall with all my might, pounding the soldiers on their backs, cheeks, and shoulders, while screaming loudly and loudly..

“Are you scared of that monster? really?!”

The soldiers looked at the huge ghost floating in the sky. Everyone still looked scared..

So I also spoke honestly..

“I'm scared too, fuck!”

“yes?”

“It's scary, so you're not scared? If you're not scared of things like that, you're not human.!”

Monsters are bigger than humans.

Monsters are more powerful than humans.

You can't help but feel primal fear. There's no shame in being afraid.

but!

“But ordinary people will be more afraid of these monsters than those of us who are trained.!”

I ran straight up the castle wall and hit every soldier on the back one at a time. Everyone came to their senses..

But even though I knew he had come to his senses, I ran in the opposite direction one more time and hit each person on the back one more time..

“Your mother! wife! Little brother! You bastard! Think of the fear you would feel when you see that monster.!”

A new fear appeared on the faces of the soldiers who were hit by my back-smashing, along with confusion..

“Think about when this place was breached and those monsters came into the city.!”

“……!”

“Think of the powerless ordinary citizens being slaughtered by those monsters! Think of the countless children who will be sacrificed because of your fear and panic.!”

Heo, heo, oh, oh my. I ran round and round on the castle wall once and felt very out of breath. I feel like throwing up.

“We have to stop it here..”

I continued to shout even though I was panting heavily..

“It's up to us to stop monsters and protect people! It is the final stopping line.!”

The soldiers were still frightened, but with trembling hands they again grabbed the cannons and ballistae..

“If you come to your senses, shoot quickly! You bastards! Pour out all the bullets you have!”

“Yeah, yep!”

“Fire! launch-!”

pop! pop! Pubung-!

The cannon fired again and the ballista began firing. I also screamed loudly..

“Shoot, shoot! Burn the monsters to the ground-!”

The kill zone was barely restored..

The center of the wooden exterior wall was once again blocked by crossfire, and the living armor began to melt helplessly..

However, while the kill zone was already neutralized, the number of monsters pouring into the outer wall was significant..

“open the gate!”

And into the field of monsters, Lucas ran with a short horse..

“Come on, come on-!”

The figure of Lucas on a horse flew away like a flash. I clenched my fists..

‘Please, Lucas.!’

This stage, no…….

The fate of this entire game. It's in Lucas' hands..

***

“omg?!”

Jupiter widened his single eye..

‘here is?’

Jupiter looked around urgently..

It was a field in front of the castle wall south of Crossroads. He collapsed there.

‘I remember the horse suddenly going crazy and falling off the horse..’

After that?

what happened?

“Lord Jupiter! Have you come to your senses??!”

An urgent shout came out. Jupiter struggled to get off the floor and raise his upper body..

My forehead was wet and when I touched it, blood oozed out. She appeared to have hurt her head while falling from a horse..

I must have sprained my back, so every time I moved, I felt intense pain..

“Oh my, what trouble is this at this age?…….”

“Lord Jupiter! One o'clock is urgent! Lord Jupiter!”

When I looked in the direction where the voice came from, my party members were surrounding me and guarding me..

Ahhh-!

And the Living Armor were screaming and running towards the party members..

“……?!”

My mind, which had been spinning, suddenly became cold. Jupiter came to his senses and assessed the current situation..

Jupiter's party was isolated.

Everyone was injured when they fell from their horses and fell to the ground, and Jupiter fainted..

Before they could even attempt to return to the city, they were attacked by Living Armor..

“Rescue will be here soon! You have to hold on until then……!”

The mercenary who was telling Jupiter the current situation hurriedly swung the mace in his hand..

Powok!

Before I knew it, the helmet of one of the Living Armors that had rushed in was dented by the mace..

Hey, evil-!

However, Living Armor only paused for a moment, then roughly stabbed the spear in its hand again..

“crazy! Are you going to survive even after being hit by this??!”

The mercenary cursed..

The same was true for other party members..

We attacked against the Living Armors that were coming in like a flood, but the Living Armors were not defeated by any reasonable attack..

Even if it is knocked down by a magic attack, it continues to move unless the entire armor is shattered by a physical attack..

This was the reason Living Armor was difficult to deal with..

Even though all of Jupiter's party members are N-rank, they are hero characters..

Although they were skilled people who had dealt with quite a few monsters, Living Armor, which was large in number and each individual was strong, was not usually a difficult opponent..

at last,

“Wow?!”

There were casualties.

He was a mercenary who informed Jupiter of the situation..

He succeeded in crushing the fourth Living Armor with his mace, but Living Armor, with only his upper body remaining, crawled over and was stabbed in the calf by the spear he swung..

While I was reeling in pain, several more Living Armors rushed towards me..

I swung my mace with all my might and shattered the leader's living armor.,

Sigh! Puff poop poop!

The chest and abdomen were pierced by spears fired by other Living Armorers..

“Wow... … evil…….”

Writhing in pain, he tried to swing the mace again, but the monsters were faster..

Sigh! Puuk-!

The spear is pulled out with a mechanical movement and then stabbed again..

There was no emotion whatsoever in the monsters' movements. Just draw the optimal movement route to kill humans efficiently..

Jupiter's eyes widened as he watched one of his party members being brutally murdered..

“These fried monsters……!”

Jupiter quickly tried to use magic to wipe out the Living Armor in the area, but the magic power was not properly concentrated in his hands..

Perhaps because I fell from a horse and fell head first, I couldn't control my horsepower properly..

Jupiter touched his forehead and tried to gather his magic power..

“Sigh, damn it… … ! hurry……!”

Phew! Phuwak-!

“Ah, ahhh!”

Meanwhile, the second party member also collapsed..

He was a mercenary who somehow managed to dodge attacks while holding a shield..

However, due to the Living Armor's fierce attack, the shield was split and my entire body was damaged at the same time..

“Ugh, ugh! Fuck, fuck!”

The third party member who was fighting next to him turned and ran away. No, he tried to run away.

But as soon as he turned back, the Living Armorers threw their spears at his empty back..

Swish! whistling-!

Puff poop poop!

The third party member, who was instantly pierced by a javelin, fell to the floor without even screaming..

He trembled in the mud of his own blood and eventually died..

The small defense line maintained by only a few people was completely destroyed in an instant..

Jupiter smelled the scent of Living Armor right in front of him..

The smell of rusty armor and rotten water.

It's the smell of drowning..

“I guess I'll just quietly lie down at the bottom of the lake.…….”

I managed to gather a handful of magical power at my fingertips. Jupiter roared and stretched out her hands..

“Is it really that bad for this old lady to receive a comfortable salary??!”

flashing-!

Bright blue lightning struck and swept the area..

The Living Armorers standing at the front all fell to the ground, burning completely black..

It was effective, but it was less than half of the usual output. Several bolts of lightning fell, but only one bolt fell..

‘Sorry, this is.’

Jupiter clicked his tongue as he looked at the Living Armor crowding behind the charred armor..

And then he shouted at the last remaining party member..

“Even you run away!”

“yes, yes?!”

The last party member was a young mercenary who still looked young. Jupiter shouted again..

“It's better for at least one person to survive than for everyone to die! Hurry up and jump out, baby!”
