Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 222
◈ 222. [STAGE 9] Overtime work
Our current position is between the head center and the central center of Jormungand..
Since the center of the head must have been occupied by werewolves, we decided to return to the center and reorganize until dawn..
But returning and reorganizing were not easy..
Because they kept attacking in the shadows of the dark night..
The werewolves continued to attack and flee until dawn..
We managed to retreat to the central core and took turns resting while keeping watch..
It wasn't even a proper rest because they kept popping out without me knowing.…….
Anyway, after a terrible night, morning finally came..
Day 3 of the Battle of Jormungand. The dawn of the last day dawned..
[Jormungand - Part Destruction Progression]
- first center : 86%
- second center : 49%
- third center : 91%
Sweeping under my tired eyes, I looked at my progress so far..
If it weren't for werewolves, they could easily finish destroying all parts in just one day..
The situation became urgent as the invading monsters repeated their guerrilla actions..
[Defeat the werewolf army that came by surprise.!]
- Gray Werewolf Lv.35: 8 bodies
- Brown Werewolf Lv.30: 17 bodies
First of all, the number of werewolves remaining is about twenty-five. And the status of our party members is…….
“Mmm.”
I glanced at the party members who were lying down and asleep..
‘Junior is seriously injured, and Raina is also injured. Evangeline and Kuilan are exhausted. The rest are Gyeongsang…….’
I've been giving him potions and putting him to sleep for the past few hours, but the human body isn't something that repairs itself like a machine. Everyone is tired and still injured..
But I can't help it.
I guess I'll have to push myself for the last day left..
“lucas.”
When I called softly, Lucas, who was resting right next to me with his eyes closed, slowly opened his bright blue eyes..
“Yes, my lord..”
“Wake up the kids.”
I'm pretty tired too, but what can I do by making fun of this young body??
“let's go to work!”
A world crisis awaits. Let's get a little rough.
***
As the tail center's destruction progress has steadily increased overnight, it seems that Nameless and Kelly Bay are working well. leave it alone.
The central core has the lowest level of destruction. You have to work as hard as you can in the remaining time..
“Kuilan, work with your subordinates to destroy the area with all your might. Fox, Rabbit, assist..”
I gave instructions to the 5 punishment unit and 2 reinforcement unit magicians. All seven people looked tired, but nodded without saying anything..
“Raina. Protect this place. The werewolves may attack again, so you have to take responsibility to stop them..”
“Please leave it to me, Your Majesty. There won't be any loss of face this time..”
Reina, who was chain-smoking with a tired face, nodded. I turned to the rest of the party..
“Lucas, Evangeline, and… … junior.”
Two knights and a wizard with a pale face looked at me. I nodded..
“We're going to take back the head..”
Lucas and Evangeline were going to be taken from the beginning, and it was a question of whether to take Junior or Raina..
Even though Junior was injured, we decided that it would be safer for the main party to take him with him..
Junior's safety would be guaranteed if Lucas, Evangeline, and I were together, rather than leaving him here and getting hurt by werewolf attacks..
‘More than anything, we are a party that has been working together from the beginning..’
After completing the formation with this decision, our main party began to move towards the head of Jormungand..
The punishment unit has already started destroying parts with drills and pickaxes, and Reina and the two wizards salute us..
“Good luck, your highness..”
“good luck.”
Raina's face was a little stiff. I grinned.
“okay. Cheer up you too.”
The four main party members started walking toward the head center without even looking back..
***
The road to the center of the head was empty..
However, because we knew that the wolves would not leave us alone, the four members of the main party did not let down their guard and carefully advanced along Jormungandr's back..
Crrrrr…….
Wow!
Sure enough, the werewolves that were hiding came out..
They attacked us from left and right. Seeing that the number was over twenty, I guess they were all waiting here..
It worked out better.
It's easier for us to take care of everything rather than let other places get attacked..
“It goes right away.”
For the first time in a while, I swung my cane [Maestro] and lightly tapped Lucas, Evangeline, and Junior on the shoulders..
It was to use the buff function of the staff..
[Intermediate buff win!]
[A ‘15% reduction in all damage for 3 minutes’ buff is applied to Lucas (SSR).!]
[Receive advanced buff!]
[The 'Attack power increase by 20% for 3 minutes' buff is applied to Evangeline (SSR).!]
[Receive advanced buff!]
[The ‘2% magic recovery per second for 3 minutes’ buff is applied to Junior (SSR).!]
Everyone is exhausted, so even a small buff will help..
“I know it's hard, but the fate of the world depends on this fight..”
must not be forgotten.
The weight of life at stake in this trivial battle.
Wolves poured in from all directions. I shouted fiercely.
“Do it!”
“It's us-ah!”
With a bold shout, Evangeline's shield blocked the monsters' claws, and Lucas' long sword swung with a beam of light..
Gritting his teeth, Junior unleashed lightning magic in all directions..
I didn't stay still either..
He fired out a magic blade, mentally controlled those who got close to him with [Mysterious Eyes of Command], and forced one of them to join his team with [Be mine!], causing a self-destructive rebellion..
The problem was the wolves' cleverness..
These kids constantly hit and run and didn't deal with us until the end..
If we were at even the slightest disadvantage, we would run away without looking back, and if we tried to straighten out our battle lines, they would attack us again..
Hit and run. And hit and run. Another hit and run… … Stop it! You fucking bastards!
Still, the elite main party members defeated them one by one, and their number steadily decreased..
Step by step we could advance to the head of Jormungand.
After such a difficult battle, in the afternoon.
“haha…….”
We finally reached the center at the head of Jormungand..
I stood on the snake's head and looked around, wiping my cheek where the wolf's blood had spattered..
Before we knew it, Jormungand's massive body had passed through the forest and entered the plains..
The long snake's body was gently moving north across the plain..
And at the end of this plain…….
‘crossroads.’
My city, the walls of humanity, were visible in a blurry form..
Finally… … I've come this far.
‘There's not much time left.’
After tonight, before the sun rises tomorrow. Jormungand will reach the walls of the Crossroads..
If all parts are not destroyed before then, everything is over..
“My lord. drink this.”
Then Lucas handed me a water bottle..
“Your complexion is not good. It's an urgent situation, but supplies are needed at times like this..”
“…….”
When we look back, all party members are covered in the monster's blood and flesh and are a mess. Even under the eyes are puffy. I guess I'm in the same situation.
I came this far without being able to sleep or eat properly, and even with injuries, fighting against those large werewolves. It's not like I'm tired.
“……Let's take a break.”
We spread out over the snake's head. The wind is cool and nice.
gulp!
Lucas took a clean shot of the water bottle he took out of his bag and poured the remaining water on his head. Water droplets scattered on the flowing blonde hair..
“after!”
Lucas exhaled and shook his head. It's like a dog cracking up after taking a shower on a summer day..
Evangeline, who was looking at this in amazement, gulped down the water herself and poured the remaining water on her head..
“Hehehehe!”
……Maybe it was more swollen than I thought, but my transparent platinum hair was wet. what are you doing.
Junior is munching on tomato juice and spinach, which he hasn't eaten in a while, like a camel. Does it feel like a stimulant in its own way?.
‘I'm desperate for a cup of coffee too.’
If you pour it into a bottle of bone-chilling iced Americano, you won't be left without a wish..
Then, this messy mind will be sorted out. I drank water while thinking such extravagant thoughts..
“We arrived at the head center of Jormungand,…….”
Lucas touched the nerve center he was leaning against with his hand..
“I don't know if I can afford to tear this down..”
It was just as he said..
The number of werewolves I have killed on my way here is over ten. In other words, there are still more than ten of them left..
If we start destroying parts, it's natural that they will interfere..
But I deliberately spoke hopefully..
“If we continue the work and hold on, our allies in the back will join us as soon as the work is finished. Then, it is possible to destroy the part within a short period of time..”
It's a close call, but it's definitely possible..
As I was repeating this to myself, a boy with curly brown hair suddenly flashed through my mind..
‘……damian.’
I was desperate for my sniper..
If Damian had been here, the wolf pack would have been cleared in no time, even if he couldn't help with the destruction of the area..
Then things wouldn't have gotten to this point..
‘Even if his condition was bad, should he have brought him in unconditionally? Was it a mistake on my part??’
Damian is clearly my cheat key..
Should I have just added him to my party? Was it my arrogance that put him out for the season??
‘No, what am I doing thinking about the past days?!’
I turned my head and opened my eyes..
As always, I achieve the best results with the numbers I have..
And the operation is still fully possible..
I also sprinkled the remaining water on my head. Party members whistled at me, who was drenched in water. What are you looking at, kids?!
I threw my wet head back and screamed..
“We'll give you a solid allowance, so let's start working overtime.!”
Even though I am the CEO of a black company, or rather the mayor of a black city, I am paid a proper allowance.?!
***
The evening light spreads.
Kang-kang-kang-
Kaga Gagak-!
Raina was watching with blurred eyes the nerve centers that were being crushed with sparks flying..
It's already the evening of the 3rd day.
But the destruction is still not complete..
The destruction of the nerve center near the tail has been completed, and Kelly Bay has joined the destruction of the central center..
Kelly Bay helped repair the drill and pickaxe, and the sweaty punishment unit members continued to destroy parts while shouting evilly..
But the nerve center is still intact.
Moreover, there is no news from Prince Ashe, who left as the head of Jormungand..
“Lord Rayna.”
Fox, the magician under her command, cautiously approached Reina, who was lost in thought..
“Two of the three nerve centers are still intact. If this continues, we must keep in mind that this repulse operation may fail..”
“…….”
Reina, who was silent, gestured with her chin..
“What are you trying to say, Fox?.”
“protocol.”
Fox spat out in a gloomy voice..
“‘We must be prepared to implement ‘shutdown protocols’.”
“……!”
Surprised, Reina turned to the side..
“What are you talking about! That's not something we can do at our discretion.!”
“…….”
“You know, if you enforce that protocol……!”
“All the citizens of Crossroads will die..”
Fox spat out calmly..
“But you can stop this snake.”
“…….”
“You must not forget our purpose, Lord Reyna..”
Raina kept her mouth shut..
Looking into her cold eyes, Fox scolded her in a low voice..
“……That's what we came to this city in the first place, right?.”
