Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 224
◈ 224. [STAGE 9] No option
Rayna, Commander of the Magic Corps.
And 4 direct unit members. Codename Fox, Rabbit, Kitty, Piggy.
Among them, Fox and Rabbit were elites who had been assisting Raina for a long time, but Kitty and Piggy were newbies assigned to Raina's party from this Crossroads dispatch..
Of course, even if you are a new member, the magic corps.
Like a magic wand wielded according to the needs of the imperial family, people have been killed on a large scale without blinking an eye..
Because it is a public service.
Because it is an order given to them by the government..
That is why there was no emotional wavering even while setting up a magic circle for human sacrifice that could instantly kill tens of thousands of citizens of this city..
“……Ex?”
“……omg!”
But now, Kitty and Piggy were embarrassed and making strange noises..
The work site was discovered by civilians..
Damian, a sniper on the front line here, and a red-haired young man on crutches with one leg lame..
After checking the two, Kitty and Piggy quickly exchanged glances..
‘They say the evacuation is complete?! Aren't there supposed to be no people in the city??’
‘What do you know, it always happens during operations anyway.!’
Unexpected situations always happen.
And to those who witness this kind of work, there is only one response:.
‘Killer and Extermination)!’
You have to kill them and shut their mouths..
Paaat-!
Kitty and Piggy fired their magic at the same time as if they had made a promise..
Of course, the target was Damian..
I knew that Damien was an excellent sniper..
It would be reasonable to leave the redhead who looks like he has trouble with his legs alone and deal with the more dangerous Damian first..
“Sorry, Mr. Sniper.!”
“No personal feelings-!”
The magic fired by the two wizards flooded Damian..
Damian kept his eyes wide open until the end. They were just saying the same thing.
***
“If Your Majesty cannot judge accurately... … I have no choice but to decide at my own discretion..”
In front of me, Reina said that and put her finger on the switch in her hand..
“…….”
I have a dry mouth.
Accurate judgment? Make an accurate decision?
Does that correct judgment mean killing Crossroads to protect the world??
“It takes about an hour from preparation to activation of the spell. If you want to press this switch, you must do so now.”
“…….”
“Is it difficult for you to make an accurate judgment, Your Majesty? then.”
Raina's fingers tightened..
I screamed without realizing it.
“Rayna, wait a minute.-”
But Raina didn't press the switch. instead.
Swish.
threw the switch for me.
“……?”
I accidentally picked up the switch and looked at Raina with a bewildered face. what?
Reina smiled bitterly.
“If so, please force me, Your Majesty..”
“what?”
“As a soldier, what I need is cool-headed judgment. However, what you need as a leader is the will to carry out your will..”
“…….”
“Even if the road ahead of you is narrow and steep, even if everyone tries to dissuade you from crossing it, it is your job to build a road there and guide people..”
I couldn't quite understand this old wizard, but.
“majesty. What do you want to do, Your Majesty??”
I understand what you want to say..
slap!
I threw the switch out of Jormungandr's body..
The switch flew far away and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces..
“This is my conclusion. Lord Rayna.”
“…….”
“Continue the operation. Neither Crossroads nor the world gives up. protect both.”
I chewed it up and spit it out..
“From the beginning, this was my only path..”
From the moment I came to this world, the path ahead of me was a single path..
No other options exist.
“thank you majesty. Thanks to you, the delusion in my head is gone..”
Raina clenched and opened her empty hand, then smiled and gestured at me..
“Then, let's quickly use up all our remaining strength and go crush that last nerve center.!”
I nodded and started walking towards the nerve center. I asked Raina who was following behind me..
“Why did you do this, Lord Rayna??”
If Reyna had put her mind to it, she could have safely activated the shutdown protocol and defeated Jormungandr..
Or even if you decided not to cast it, there was no need to inform me of the existence of this magic..
I didn't mind continuing to keep it a secret..
But Reina informed me of the existence of magic, transferred decision-making authority to me, and left me to destroy it..
Thank you, but why??
“……well. Maybe I'm old too.”
Reina answered vaguely.
“Burning innocent people... … I guess I'm tired of warming the empire with that firepower..”
Raina's gaze fell on Junior, who was resting next to the nerve center..
Junior, who was asleep with his head on Evangeline's lap, was wheezing with a pale face..
Reina expressionlessly looked down at the young wizard and at the mistakes she had made in the past..
“I want to prove that I can protect the empire in other ways too..”
“…….”
“Please go, Your Majesty. There is no time. Now even rest is a luxury.”
What Raina said was 100 times right..
Tsukakkakak-!
Last 10% of part destruction gauge.
The nerve center that had received the hardening buff was repelling all the drill bits..
The punishment unit was shouting and screaming, and Kelly Bay was right next to him, fixing the drill with his bloody hands..
“Lucas and Evangeline join the scene..”
Lucas and Evangeline stood up as if they had been waiting..
Raina lifted Junior, who was blinking with difficulty, and placed him in his seat, grinning..
“Now, wake up, daughter of Jupiter. Those head horns were ours from the beginning, right? Our wizard team needs to do one last thing..”
“……You're not going to tell me to use [Elemental Disintegration] one more time, right? Then I die……?”
“I'm not dying, I'm not dying.”
While holding both of Junior's shoulders, Raina muttered as if she was making a promise to herself..
“'Cause I'll never let you die.”
***
Crossroad Central Square.
Kitty and Piggy were subdued..
There were clear fist marks on his cheeks and chin, and his entire body was wrapped with rope. kneeling on the floor.
“Where to cast a spell on a friend, magic!”
Kureha was standing in front of him and admonishing him..
“Let's shoot magic at each other and try to kill each other, then that'll be fine.?”
“…….”
“Is it okay? no? answer?”
“Oh, no.…….”
“I did it wrong…….”
Damian was breaking into a cold sweat as he watched this scene from the side. Kureha nodded and continued..
“I'm saying this because they all seem to be my younger brother's peers. Friends should get along well. yes?”
“…….”
“…….”
As the two wizards fell silent, Kureha raised her fist..
“yes?!”
“Yes, that's right!”
“Get along well! Because we are friends!”
“good. Now, apologize to each other and make up..”
“I'm sorry, Mr. Sniper.!”
“Sorry for blowing your mind!”
The two wizards repeatedly bowed their heads and apologized..
‘I didn't see it that way.…….’
Damian looked at Kureha with clouded eyes..
This guy looked fine at least. As expected, he was just like any other person in the city.…….
“I feel bad when I see these young kids making dangerous attacks. They all look like my younger brothers.”
“Speaking of Kureha-san's younger brother... … He, the Bandit King Kuilan.……?”
“huh. A cute little boy like you.”
No, your younger brother is only 2m tall and has the same muscles.…….
‘Does he look cute just because he's his little brother?……?’
Damian, who was sweating coldly, suddenly saw Kureha's right arm..
My parched fingers were twitching..
A little while ago, the moment the two wizards fired magic at Damian..
Kureha got in between them, swung only her right fist, destroyed the two magics, and struck the jaws of the two magicians in one go, subduing them..
Right after that.
Damn. Damn it.
Incontinence spread across Kureha's right arm like an old rock, and the flesh and muscles crumbled into dust..
After the dust fell, only the withered right arm remained. Like his bony left leg.
“……ah. are you okay. don't mind.”
Kureha, noticing Damian's gaze, calmly lowered her sleeve to cover her right arm..
“‘I was cursed. this body.”
“curse… … yo. this?”
“When you use strength, each part of your body becomes mummified. What kind of trivial curse is that?.”
It wasn't flirtatious at all, but Kureha smiled and put her index finger on her lips..
“What I worked hard for today is a secret from others. I get scolded by my younger brother..”
“…….”
“By the way, I guess I should ask what these wizard friends were trying to do here..”
When Kureha turned around with her eyes shining fiercely, the two wizards were startled..
“Well, we were just preparing for an emergency.……!”
“It was only done for the well-being of the empire and the imperial family.!”
Damien frowned..
“It's just a one-of-a-kind incident.?”
“What if the raiders deployed now cannot stop Jormungand?……!”
“So, I returned via the teleport gate and was preparing plan B... … Two, two people blocked it! There's no plan B anymore!”
It was then.
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…….
The ground began to rumble dimly..
Damian and Kureha trembled their shoulders, and Kitty and Piggy started jumping around in their seats..
“Wow, Jormungand has arrived!!”
“So much so that the ground trembles! It looks like we came really close.?!”
“What if the operation fails?! What if the operation fails?!”
“We are all together-!”
Ignoring Kitty and Piggy who were making noise, Damian looked back at Kureha..
“Let's go up the castle wall. I need to check the situation..”
***
As the four men climbed up the wall, they saw soldiers forming the final line of defense..
The cannons, ballistas, and various artifacts were fully loaded and ready to be fired..
But the soldiers' expressions were not bright..
This was because I already knew that all of this would not cause much damage to that huge monster approaching from afar..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo……!
A huge snake was advancing from the end of the southern plain. There was dust and a roar everywhere..
“Go, it's close…….”
Damian muttered without realizing it. Kitty and Piggy hugged each other and screamed..
“Look at that! That giant snake isn't stopping yet! After all, we needed magic.!”
“It's all over now, it's over! we are all dead!”
Kureha raised her fist at the two who were making noise. The two wizards immediately shut their mouths..
“damian!”
At that time, Lily hurriedly came from the artifact launch pad, dragging a wheelchair..
“Do you know how long the saint has been looking for you? What are you doing here!”
“lily.”
Damian looked at Lily with a stern expression..
“……please bring me my gun.”
“what?”
“[If you have [Black Queen], you can stop that snake.!”
Lily stuttered in confusion..
“His Majesty the Prince and the raiders are still carrying out the operation. It's enough to stop. When we come into the range, we will fire our cannons too.…….”
“You know that's not enough, Lily.!”
“…….”
“If I get a gun, it will be enough insurance. You know my skills.!”
“…….”
“lily!”
If you give [Black Queen] to Damian, he can shoot it at his allies..
In the worst case, you could destroy the castle walls alone..
That's why I was ordered never to return it..
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo-!
The intimidation of the gigantic Jormungand approaching right in front of us was greater than the threat to our allies Osa..
Lily shouted to the alchemist team..
“Bring Damian's horse gun! right now!”
and-
A black magic gun overflowing with a pitch-black aura was passed in front of Damian..
“…….”
Damian slowly stretched out his hands towards the [Black Queen]..
