Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 212

◈ 212. [Side Story] Super giant monster defense measures

I explained what happened yesterday, and Damian became depressed when he heard that he had been drinking heavily again..

This is already the second time I've lost my mind and gone on a rampage. It has become a situation where I can no longer watch it..

“So, for now, you are detained..”

One of Damian's arms is chained and handcuffed to the wall..

It may seem like a bit too much treatment, but they went on a rampage and started shooting at us. I have to go safely.

Damien showed no reaction to his detention, but was startled by what he said next..

“And the Black Queen of Ma Chong was also confiscated. I won't give it back for a while.”

“yes?”

“A priest, a wizard, and an alchemist came to check on you and Demon Chong’s condition. They say the dark energy from the demonic gun is already encroaching on your soul and gnawing away at it..”

I said sternly.

“They told me to immediately cut off all contact between you and Ma Chong and never let them get close to me again. So that's what I'm going to do.”

Damien begged me with a pale face..

“Woe, prince! please! I'll just stay here, so can you give me that gun??”

“What are you talking about? It's because of that gun that I'm in trouble.”

Will you return it? I know what you're going to do while spraying a black aura again..

“Since the black aura started coming out of that gun, you haven't been able to eat or sleep properly for several weeks? I heard it all from the temple people..”

“…….”

“I will separate it for you too. I know so.”

“But prince. Because of that witch gun, I had nightmares and was in pain every day.…….”

Damian hesitated and muttered..

“I was able to dream half of it..”

“…….”

“The face of the class I thought I would never see again... … I got to see it vividly. So, I…….”

Even though he was in pain, he couldn't let go of the Black Queen?.

I crossed my arms and sighed heavily..

“You must have been a really precious friend..”

I allow myself to suffer every night just to see your face, even in my nightmares..

“…….”

Instead of answering, Damian kept his mouth shut..

There was silence. I quietly looked around Damian's room..

It is a room with a simple, simple design typical of a temple, but there is little furniture and a desk in the closet… … And I see a hamster cage.

I used to wonder what it was like to raise a hamster, but now I'm actually raising one. I went and stood in front of the hamster cage..

Squeak.

In the haystack, a small hamster raises its bean-like eyes and looks at me. Is it an illusion that he looks like his owner?.

“What was his name??”

“Podong… … yo. this.”

“It's not as plump as the name suggests..”

“I guess it's because I didn't manage my day properly yesterday. Even if you give him less food for just one day, he becomes thin..”

Are hamsters really like that? I don’t know because I haven’t raised it..

“Make this plump, Damian. You too, recover your health.”

I pointed at Damien's pale face with my hand and slowly headed towards the door..

“You are out for the season. Do not participate in this defense battle and recuperate here. The story of Ma Chong comes next..”

“……!”

Damian tried to run out after me, but one arm was handcuffed..

Damien, who stumbled with the sound of chains, shouted quickly..

“But, prince! I need to be there!”

“…….”

“Since you took office here, you haven't fought a defensive battle without me! You always need my sniping skills.!”

“damian.”

I opened the door and looked back expressionlessly..

“I told you to be my trigger. you said you would.”

“……yes.”

“What I need is a gun that I can point and shoot at will. But now you have become a dangerous gun, with no idea where or what it will be aimed at..”

Damian closed his mouth and lowered his head. I pulled myself out of the room..

“You can't stand on the wire in that condition. Let your body recover first.”

“Prince…….”

“It's an order from the commander..”

I smiled one last time.

“It's a long-awaited vacation. Take a good rest.”

I left Damien looking at me with a devastated face and closed the door..

thud!

***

“Establish a strategy to catch the giant monster.”

Manor house. drawing room.

After calling all the hero characters except Damian to a meeting. i said.

“The name of the monster that will attack this defense battle is Jormungand. It's a very huge snake.”

This stage’s monster, corps, and boss.

A single monster army. Jormungand.

This is one of the few monsters in this game that has the 'ultra-giant' tag..

And as if to prove that the word “super giant” was not given for nothing, it is extremely large and strong..

“This guy will honestly crawl from the lake to the Crossroads, then tear down the walls, level the city, and head north..”

The appearance of a super-large single monster that was unprecedented during the defensive war..

Now, both the heroes who were experienced in fighting against monsters and the beginners who still lacked experience were all nervous and swallowed their dry saliva..

I made it clear here.

“Let me tell you in advance, killing this guy is close to impossible. Our goal is to ‘repel’.”

Jormungand’s nickname is not ‘World Serpent’ for nothing..

He is an extremely mythical being. It is a different entity from other monsters..

The goal in the game was not to kill it, but to send it back by inflicting a certain amount of damage. I'll do it this time too.

“This snake has only one principle of behavior. Just go up north.”

widely!

I continued my explanation by drawing on the blackboard that Ader brought me..

“Although they will attack anything that gets in their way in the process, their belligerence is basically low. Compared to other monsters whose goal is the destruction of humans, they are very calm..”

At that time, Evangeline lifted her hand. I made a chin gesture.

“Do you have any questions, Evangeline??”

“Why do you want to go north??”

“I don't know either. It looks like there's a restaurant up there that you might want to visit..”

I'm guessing this is a joke, and that the purpose is probably to end the world..

Going around the world from south to north.

‘The problem is that continental civilizations perish one by one with each drink..’

All villages and cities in the path of this giant snake will be destroyed..

Even if other monsters pass through the southern front, there is a way to block them by forming a new front above, but Jormungand has no answer..

As it moves north, it eats civilization and grows bigger..

We have to stop it here..

If we can't stop it, the whole world will really end..

Everyone's faces became serious at my explanation..

Raina, the leader of the volunteer army who always had a light-hearted and grumpy attitude, and Kuilando of the punishment unit, who still looked like a novice..

There is something to protect on this front.

That applies to all of them.

“Anyway, he has low belligerence. It focuses more on moving north than attacking humans. And the body is very huge. What conclusion can be drawn from these premises??”

Everyone looked at me blankly without answering my questions..

Well, it would be difficult to answer with only such fragmentary information. I gave the correct answer right away.

“The correct answer is, ‘Even if we climb up and hit you, you stay still.’.”

Evangeline gaped at my words..

“Now, wait a minute. What does that mean? then…….”

“okay.”

each time.

I looked disgusted.

“In this defense, all of us are not here on the walls.…….”

I roughly erased the drawing of the castle wall on the blackboard and drew a path to the Black Lake further south..

“Go south and wait at the entrance to the Black Lake. As soon as Jormungand sticks his head out of the lake, he hops on his body and begins his attack..”

The heroes all looked shocked, as if they didn't know that this was really a plan to ride on the body of a snake..

“……!”

“……?!”

In particular, the cowardly duo of Lily and Margerita were hugging each other and screaming silently. You're acting weak again.

“It usually takes 3 days to reach from the Black Lake to the Crossroads Wall. You will beat the hell out of this giant snake for three days..”

I briefly drew Jormungandr's massive body on the blackboard..

It looks like a long earthworm, but I can probably recognize it..

“Its body is huge. As it is huge, the nerve centers that give commands to the body are distributed throughout the body..”

I pointed at three places on Jormungandr's body..

head. center of the body. And near the tail.

“It attacks and destroys the three most important centers. Then you can stop him..”

It's a kind of part destruction gimmick..

If this area is successfully destroyed three times, Jormungand will return to its nest to repair the damage..

What if I fail? I'll chew through the walls, replace the city, and go all the way up..

“So, this defensive battle will be conducted in a form close to close combat..”

Land directly on the giant snake's body. The protruding nerve centers must be attacked and destroyed. Naturally, it becomes a form of hand-to-hand combat using one's body..

This was also the reason why it was possible to establish a strategy without Damian in this defensive battle..

This operation to defeat Jormungand does not require long-range sniping capabilities..

“9 days until the next defense begins. In other words, there are six days left until Jormungand sticks his head out of the lake..”

Since the defensive battle has to start from the entrance of the lake, time is tighter than the existing defensive battle based on the time when they arrive at the castle wall..

“In the meantime, we will create a weapon that can attack his body, and at the same time, we will train all of you..”

I looked around at the heroes..

“This defensive battle is completely different from previous defensive battles. Since you have to operate on the monster's body for up to three days or more, there will be different threats than previous battles against monsters..”

I nodded with a stern face to all the party members who were looking at me with trembling eyes..

“Be firm in your resolve.”

Afterwards, I announced the organization..

Main party of 4 without Damian. Reinforcement party of 5 people. 5 person punishment unit.

A total of 14 people decided to land directly on Jormungand's body and carry out this dangerous operation..

They were not going to take ordinary soldiers. You must spend three days on the body of a boss monster that emits evil energy..

If you're not a hero-level character, this is a strategy you won't be able to survive in the first place..

The elite main party nodded with determination as always, and the support party and punishment unit also followed my orders with stern faces..

If Jormungand breaks through the southern front and heads north, there is an ecliptic along the way..

From the perspective of the reinforcement party, of course, they will have to risk their lives to stop it..

“My hometown is also along that route..”

Kuilan clenched his fists with a stern look on his face..

“I will risk my life to be with you, Your Royal Highness..”

It seems that the punishment unit also has a reason to take action seriously. I smiled faintly at the bandit king who was burning with his fighting spirit..

“Lily and the saint!”

I suddenly called the two of them who were so scared that they were waiting to hear when they would be called. I gestured to the two who started hiccuping..

“The two of you will remain at Crossroads as a reserve..”

The two's faces brightened up. But it's not the time to be so happy.

“There is a possibility that the city itself will be swept away in this defensive battle. Therefore, the evacuation of citizens will also take place differently..”

Even if the monsters of the past had infiltrated the city by chance, they would only try to kill humans and would hardly touch the facilities and buildings within the city..

Therefore, the evacuation so far was at best a temporary exodus of citizens to the north of the city..

But this time the level of threat is different. There is a possibility that the entire city will be devastated..

In a worst-case scenario, if no preparations are made, Jormungand could crush the entire city and destroy its infrastructure, threatening the survival of all citizens..

“Lily, cooperate with all members of the production workshop to build shelters, water storage, food storage, etc. You can prepare it in the empty plain northeast of the city..”

“Yes, I understand.!”

“Saint, I will attach workers to you so you can build a simple treatment facility in the northeastern part of the city. Provide sufficient hospital beds and medicine..”

“I will do as you command, Your Majesty..”

I nodded heavily to the two who answered with serious faces..

“I hope your work is in vain.”

These two are preparing for the worst..

Naturally, the best bet is to repel Jormungand before he reaches the walls..

By the time he reaches the castle walls, the strategy is already over..

‘But I am the lord of this place.’

Even if the game ends, the strategy fails, and the world is destroyed.

We have a duty to take responsibility for those who survive. That's why we need to prepare for the worst.

I hope they both work hard. But I also hope it will be a complete waste of time.

After reading my intention, Lily and Margerita nodded once again..

The two of them were no longer the usual cowards, but had the faces of heroes on the front lines..
