Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 295
◈ 295. [STAGE 11] Bone Hater
Death Loop Killzone has a grand name, but when you break it down, there is actually nothing special about it..
Using the monster's characteristic of trying to kill the nearest human, it lures the monster to a point that is close to the castle wall in a straight line..
From that point to the castle wall, wooden fences are placed in a zigzag pattern so that the monsters move while wasting as much movement as possible..
Those who are wasting time and wandering around are wiped out using firepower or driving them into traps..
‘But creating this maze is the fun of defense games..’
I prefer a simple zigzag maze.
Some users created a swirling maze where you had to spin around, while others created a really complicated maze..
Isn't one of the true joys of a defense game to see the stupid monsters wandering around in this maze and falling one by one from the firepower of their allies??
Clap! Cheolpuk!
The bottom of the narrow path between the wooden fences was soggy and muddy..
I don't know how the skeletons made of bones balance and move their bodies, but what is certain is that their legs are not that strong..
They had no choice but to move slowly along the already spinning road, and naturally they became good prey for our gunners..
The skeletons were hit by arrows, fell asleep, got tangled up together, and were swept away as a group by our magic and artifact baptism..
Still, I managed to break through by building a mountain with bones.,
Rumble!
I'm sorry. That's a trap.
Skeleton Warriors fell into a deep pit trap..
The cannons that had been lined up in advance fired their shells into the hole..
pop! Bubbling bubbling!
The skeleton warriors who fell into the pit were literally burned without even their bones. It's nice to see it warm..
Realizing that it would be difficult to advance towards the pit trap, the skeletons entered the side road..
Shake! Slam! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Ah, but I'm sorry. That too is a trap..
A spinning iron club protruding from between the wooden fences hit the skeletons' shinbones..
With the sound of bones crunching, the skeletons fell all at once..
It's an incredibly ignorant device, but it's also an artifact..
It was ranked N and had low durability, and after breaking a few skeletons, it lost all of its momentum and stopped..
The iron club artifact, tangled together with a pile of shattered skeleton bones, became a barricade in itself..
This is the advantage of low-grade artifacts. Just use it once and throw it away..
pop! Quack! Kwazijic!
In addition, jars containing acid, iron ball artifacts, ballista direct fire, etc. welcomed the skeleton army..
The skeleton army passed through the death loop kill zone with difficulty, being smashed here and there..
By the time they got through this fun theme park of traps, arrows, and cannons and finally reached the castle walls, their numbers had been reduced to about fifty..
The Skeleton Marshall, who had broken through the kill zone at the forefront with a heavily scorched and broken face, flashed his eyes fiercely..
The remaining skeletons also grabbed their weapons, spewing out terrible murders..
Currently, the walls of this forward base are not properly repaired. The place is empty and empty enough for them to dig in..
“Since you've come a long way, you might want to climb over the empty walls and cut down some humans, you monsters..”
I grinned..
“There may not be a wall here, but we have something similar.?”
As soon as my words come to an end,
sreung……!
Lucas pulling out a long sword from its scabbard,
Clap, clap, clap.!
Evangeline stepped forward, attaching the Bone Lance and Bone Shield to both arms..
My two strongest vanguards took the lead, assuming the role of a castle wall, and Damian and Junior each prepared a long-distance attack..
I also stood holding the cane Maestro and the pistol Agathe in each hand..
Behind our main party, the punishment unit and the shadow unit wait one after another..
If the punishment unit stops the skeletons passing us, the shadow unit will take them down with firepower..
There are also reserve parties and soldiers waiting behind it, but I don't believe they will break through that far..
《……!》
The Skeleton Marshall opened its mouth wide and let out a silent scream..
Doo doo doo doo-!
I can't hear it, but there must have been some kind of command passed between the skeletons..
About fifty skeletons all kicked off the ground and ran towards us..
“Don't let any of them into the forward base that you worked so hard to repair! Kill it and throw it away-!”
At the same time I shouted, Lucas and Evangeline rushed forward, and Damian's sniping and Junior's magic rained down on the monsters' heads..
***
The battle ended simply..
The strength of the skeletons who were dispersed and defeated individually was greatly reduced, while our heroes were in perfect condition..
In front of Damian's sniping, Junior's magic, and the shadow unit's firepower, the skeletons were tattered..
Lucas, Evangeline, and the punishment unit rushed to those in that state and finished them off..
“Hehehe, hehehehe…….”
……Among them, it was Evangeline who performed particularly prominently..
For some reason, Evangeline became so angry that she showed off her fearsome fighting skills..
Normally, among the close rangers Lucas and Evangeline, Lucas would play an offensive role and Evangeline would play a defensive role. Today was the opposite.
Lucas worked hard to protect his allies, and Evangeline was dropped like a bomb on the enemy lines..
And Evangeline pierced the skeletons with the bone lance, smashed the skeletons with the bone shield, headbutted them with the bone helmet, and even fought with the bone armor's gauntlets and greaves..
Finally, Evangeline grabbed the Skeleton Marshall by the collar and crushed his lower jaw with her fist, muttering cruelly..
“I am… … I hate bones…….”
“…….”
“I am… … I don't like bones……!”
I guess I still don't like the bone equipment set I was forced to wear. Hehehe.
Evangeline's emerald eyes twinkled and looked at me..
I quickly turned my head to the side. Well, isn’t the performance of the bone set equipment good? You look so strong?
Clap, clap, clap.…….
Finally, the Skeleton Marshall twisted its body and tried to attack, but,
“Please be quiet.!”
Wow!
When Evangeline struck his skull with the bone shield, he fell to the ground quietly..
“Whoa whoa…….”
Evangeline roughly threw the completely silent Skeleton Marshall to the floor and muttered with a helpless laugh..
“okay. Now I am a Bone Hater... … It's Bone Hater..”
“……what?”
“what? Come to think of it, my senior’s middle name is also Bonhater… … ? You also hate bones.……?”
“Well, what are you saying??!”
For reference, my middle name is ‘Born Hater’..
‘‘A born hater’, ‘a person born to hate’… … It means to a degree.
I wonder what kind of parent in the world would name their son something like that, but whatever! My middle name has nothing to do with bones!
“Hehehe. Seniors.”
Evangeline came closer to me and smiled dangerously through her bone helmet..
“From now on, please call me Evangeline 'Bonhater' Cross.……?”
“Well, the joke stops there! Because I'm kind of scared!”
“Hehe, kidding? This looks like a joke……?”
Heeeee! When I forced him to wear bone armor, use bone weapons, and fight bone monsters, he got tired of it.!
At that time, Lucas came over and sighed and got between Evangeline and me..
“In the Everblack Empire, middle names are only allowed for members of the royal family, Evangeline. Enough with the jokes.”
“Sheesh. She just wanted to use the same nickname as her senior..”
Evangeline, who was taunting, hummed a strange song, 'Bonhater, Bonehater~ I am Bonehater~' and left to confirm and kill the remaining skeletons..
I cringed when I saw Evangeline’s back like that! Lucas cleared his throat and said to me.
“Since the enemies this time are skeletons, Evangeline seems to be worried that wearing bone armor will make her look like that kind of skeleton monster..”
“Ah, that's how it happened.…….”
Well, I was wearing bone armor, a bone helmet, a bone weapon, and a bone shield, but a group of skeletons came out as enemies. You might feel a strange feeling.
“……It would have been better if you had exchanged armor for me and Evangeline..”
“Ugh, ummm.”
Lucas, a damage tank, and Evangeline, a pure tank, were given armor that suited their performance better. I didn't know Evangeline hated bone equipment so much..
As Lucas said, maybe he should have given Evangeline some cooler Lucas armor?.
“Do you want to change now? You can adjust the size at the blacksmith shop..”
“no? I don't like it. this is mine.”
Lucas flatly refused and hugged his armor tightly..
No, then why did you bring it up, man! You pretend to be tolerant, but you are merciless.!
“Isn’t this equipment given to you by your master? No matter who comes, I won't give it to you. and…….”
Lucas muttered, narrowing his eyes..
“It's fun to see Evangeline suffer, isn't it??”
“……Somehow, it seems like you guys are becoming more and more like siblings..”
Anyway, leaving the armor issue aside..
I was able to kill half of the skeleton army and all of those who came towards the forward base..
“I didn't know killzone was such an effective tactic..”
Lucas muttered as he looked at the dead monsters in the death loop. I shrugged..
“It worked because the monsters were small in size..”
This is a case where several conditions were fortunately met..
“And it would be difficult to set up a trap like this in front of Crossroads..”
The area in front of the southern wall of the Crossroads is wide and expansive..
The terrain in front of the forward base here is narrow and narrow, so small kill zones could be deployed densely, but this kind of deployment is impossible in the first place at the Crossroads. That's why I haven't been able to do it for a while.
“……Surely, there are strategies that can only be used at this forward base..”
“yes. If we can operate this place properly, future defensive battles will be much easier..”
When I am absent, Lucas must act as acting commander. I hope you use the killzone tactic well too..
Lucas, who was looking towards the kill zone while lost in thought, turned to me and made a noise..
“By the way, my lord. What about the other half who have already moved north? Is that right from the walls of Crossroads??”
I grinned..
“There's another way.”
While repairs were being made to the forward base over the past few weeks,.
I continued to ask Grandma Coco to make teleport gates, and was able to install two more teleport gates..
“Do you remember where I placed those two gates??”
“of course. You installed them all on the way north from here to Crossroads..”
Additional gates were installed at 1/3 and 2/3 of the road from Black Lake to Crossroads. Hidden well in the mountains, well off the road.
Since the monsters take about 3 days to travel this way, it was set up at a point of about a day or two at the speed of their advance..
“Oh, no way……!”
A light of realization flashed across Lucas' face. I nodded..
“While they creep up north honestly, we move through the teleport gate and wage guerrilla warfare..”
Go north before them through the teleport gate and ambush them..
When they arrive, attack them and then escape through the teleport gate..
“There is no need to wipe them out in the process. All you have to do is damage it and get out..”
“Indeed, this method…….”
“Currently, the teleportation gates are installed temporarily, and later they will be installed in dozens. We will install it on every street corner..”
The monsters that emerged from the black lake and came north for three days..
Fiercely, relentlessly, gnawing away with guerrillas through the teleport gate..
Don't let them use their full power when they reach the Crossroads. To keep the city safe.
‘use tricks.’
Shamefully. In a mean way. Regardless of means or methods.
By mobilizing all the paths that were not available in the game,.
kill monsters.
protect people.
“Of course, legions of monsters will appear for which this method will not work. Among the guerrillas, there will be allies who are in danger..”
I nodded..
“But optimize it somehow. If an enemy appears that doesn't work, find another bypass strategy..”
“…….”
“From now on, we will deal with monsters in this manner. If you have any good ideas, please let me know, Lucas. got it?”
Lucas was looking at me with a subtle expression as I smiled..
A little bit of wonder, and…….
Mixed with a little worry. It was that kind of expression.
