Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 304
◈ 304. [[Free Exploration] Farming during intermission
- Your third son will tear the empire to pieces and destroy it..
- But at the same time, your third son will make the empire prosper forever..
The third son of the imperial family received two conflicting prophecies at the same time..
Destruction and prosperity).
The emperor said he would stop joining, but the rumor spread secretly..
The imperial dignitaries did not even pay attention to the later prophecy. They only focused on the previous prophecy.
The child who will destroy the empire.
So even before he was born, Ash became an object of curse and hatred..
Appeals were made frequently to not even conceive a third child, and the emperor himself tried to do the same..
After the birth of his second son, Fernandez, he did not even sleep with the empress..
However, the Emperor met Dustia on the battlefield and.
fell in love.
He overcame all political checks and appointed Dustia as the second empress..
When she became pregnant, her servants' cries for cutting open her stomach and killing the child poured out every day without a single day of rest..
The emperor ignored it. I lasted ten months without leaving the side of the woman I loved..
And, oh no... … ash was born.
When holding his newborn child for the first time, the emperor called his third son:.
‘bone hater.’
At that moment, Ash's middle name was confirmed..
A child born in hate.
And, the child who will live his life spreading hatred.
……However, contrary to the grand prophecy.
Ash's bowl was destroyed..
He showed no talent in either civil or martial arts. On the contrary, after his mother's death, he became addicted to alcohol, caused an accident, and wasted time..
Public interest disappeared, and the prophecy became nothing more than a funny rumor..
People laughed, saying that in modern times where magic engineering is at the cutting edge, it is impossible to believe in such magic from the past..
So the prophecy was gradually forgotten.…….
‘……It must have been like that.’
Dusk Bringer pursed his lips..
Ash was very different from the rumors. She was bold, meticulous, and well-connected..
As if the days I lived as a fool in the imperial capital were all a deception to hide myself and survive..
‘They say there is no dog under the title of Hobu, so does that mean Everblack is Everblack?.’
Dusk Bringer has entered the shelter outside the North Gate..
Her subjects greeted her with bright faces. Dusk Bringer entered the center of the refuge, examining the conditions of his subjects one by one..
‘……Then Ash, you.’
If the prophecy of the black thorn tree, Everblack, is correct.
‘How can you destroy an empire and then make it prosper??’
I couldn't even guess.
But, I had a strong feeling.
Dusk Bringer's own fate will also be strongly tied to that of the youngest prince..
‘Maybe it's you who can help me find the meaning of my name, Ash..’
120life over a year.
The dusk that will come at the end is slowly falling before our eyes..
Dusk Bringer had a hunch.
The girl duke's smooth white hand without a single wrinkle grasped her chest..
As if grasping at one's own wrinkled, age-spotted old soul..
***
a few days later.
It was confirmed that the Imperial Army's 1st Corps stationed west of the Crossroads was moving partly to the west and partly to the north..
After they completely leave the Crossroads area.
I decided to enter the dungeon with a large party of available hero characters..
‘A fight between Larc and Fernandez means a fight..’
I should be doing my job.
Prepare for the next stage and the next stage. No matter how the world moves, my goal ultimately boils down to winning a match with this monster army..
And the purpose of this free exploration is,
‘50level!’
I am doing my third job change..
Even in the main party, I was the only one who could not awaken, and compared to other party leaders, my level was particularly low. I guess I'll have to start paying attention.
‘I feel like my body is feeling better at this level..’
The fever has gone down and my condition is refreshing. Worthy of going into battle.
“Are you sure you don't mind, my lord??”
“Just rest, senior! We'll clear out all the dungeons between us.!”
Lucas and Evangeline said worriedly.
“Now that you are resting, the best option is to not go to the battlefield in the future. majesty.”
“Yes, prince! In the meantime, we had no choice due to lack of manpower, but now we have enough troops.!”
Junior and Damian also added a word each..
Everyone wants me to step away from the front line and stay safe in the back room..
“……Hehehe.”
but.
“I think I'll get out of the way because of that.?!”
There's still a long way to go, you guys.!
Children become less efficient without me! Without my characteristics, passive skill buffs, and strategy instructions, you too would have a hard time.!
Anyway, as I stood in front of the teleportation gate without pretending to hear anything, all four main party members shook their heads and sighed..
‘No, I know you're worried, but let's just get to level 50.~!’
I took the lead and pushed myself into the teleport gate..
flashing!
***
[Now Loading… … Teleporting.]
[Tip - The raid becomes more powerful as the number of parties increases, but detailed control is difficult. Change the party formation depending on the dungeon and stage situation.!]
***
Upon entering the base camp, the punishment unit and shadow unit were waiting..
“Hey, Your Highness!”
“Are you here? majesty.”
Kuilan, a beast with a fluttering red mane, raised his hand and greeted informally, while Godhand bowed politely..
I grinned and looked at their condition..
“Oh no, you have come. I'm ready to go?”
“You can leave anytime.”
“So do we.”
Flash! flashing!
Party members continued to arrive at the teleport gate behind me. Kuilan groaned as he observed the scene..
“By the way, it has grown quite a bit.…….”
After hearing that, I also turned around. A total of four parties were gathered in front of the teleport gate..
Main party of 5 people.
5 person punishment unit.
A 5-member Shadow Unit with 3 additional members, Lily and Margerita..
Lastly, the newly joined Dusk Bringer and the five members of the Royal Guard Knights..
A total of 20 people. 4 pool parties.
“Are you trying to go to war somewhere?……?”
“Well, I'm going to do something similar..”
Some dungeons require a large party. I'm going to visit that dungeon today..
“Ho, ho... … ! Is there a dungeon like this left in this day and age?……!”
Dusk Bringer, who entered the dungeon for the first time, opened his mouth slightly and looked around curiously..
I asked as I approached Dusk Bringer..
“Have you had some fun in the dungeon, Archduke??”
“Haha, isn’t it obvious! Who am I, Dusk Bringer, the Dragon King of the Sunset! Dungeons, rares, labyrinths! A place fit for a dragon! I already feel at home, like I'm back in my hometown.……!”
No, shouldn't you just be in the Principality's office?……?
Dusk Bringer, smiling brightly, hurried into the base camp and said he would take a look inside..
There was someone watching the Duke of Dragon's back with his shoulders shaking. It was none other than God Hand..
“……Are you okay, God Hand??”
“Well, of course. it's okay…….”
When I approached and asked, Godhand answered with a pale face..
“It's just that I remember the times I was tormented by that person.…….”
“iced coffee…….”
It did. Godhand was the one who delivered my letter to Dusk Bringer. He said he had a hard time back then.
“After a lot of torture to extract information, they treated me again... … Honestly, it's not a good memory…….”
“I'm sorry, hey.”
“no. majesty. Thanks to this, the monster front here gained a strong ally, didn't it?.”
However, not only God Hand but also Body Bag and Burnout are shaking..
I think Dusk Bringer was a bit traumatized at that time.…….
‘But from Dusk Bringer's perspective, it's understandable. These three were from the Aegis Special Task Force and were responsible for the assassination of the diplomatic ambassador, which sparked a war between the two countries..’
It is also true that I gave them harsh missions to test their loyalty. I savored my appetite sheepishly. I'm sorry.
Lily, who had been watching the Shadow Unit members, came out dragging the wheelchair and tightly grabbed Godhand's hand..
“I will protect you! God Hand! Let's defeat the opponent together, no matter who he is.!”
“Lily……!”
This cockroach-like couple looked at each other, eyes dripping with honey... … Here we go again. Wow, ugh. Lovely couples.
Perhaps they have become accustomed to this salting process, but Body Bag and Burnout are smiling with a look of liberation on their faces. You guys are having a hard time.…….
Anyway, I left the shadow unit behind and entered the base camp. I also had some business left over here..
“Ah, Ash! It's been a while since you came here!”
Then, Verdandi, the leader of the Holy Grail Exploration Team, came running towards me with a bright smile. I smiled at him too.
“Verdandi. how have you been doing? All my colleagues recovered?”
“yes It's improved a lot! Thanks to Ash for continuing to take care of me with food.…….”
I was so sick that I couldn't move, but they kept sending me food, including sunflower seeds..
I don't know if it's because of that, but Verdandy's thin cheeks have regained a pleasing color..
“A few days ago, we went on a light expedition on our own. I think I'm almost done recovering my condition now..”
“thank god. Be careful though.”
“yes Oh, by the way! While we were exploring, we finally found traces! Finally, the location of the ‘Holy Grail’ was identified.-”
As he spoke, Verdandi's face became increasingly stiff. huh? what's the matter?
“……uh? Uh oh?”
Verdandi raised a trembling hand with a pale face and pointed at Dusk Bringer, who was watching the base camp next to me..
“I, the dragon king of the sunset……?”
“huh?”
“why are you here……!”
Then, a look passed through Dusk Bringer's eyes as he looked towards Verdandi..
“no… … who is this?”
“Ah! Ahhh! wait for a sec!”
Verdandi waved his arms urgently. As if to tell me not to bring up that backstory..
But Dusk Bringer calmly blurted out without notice..
“The noble second daughter of the World Tree, a direct descendant of the Fairy Kingdom... … Isn’t it Verdandi?!”
“…….”
“I thought he disappeared and died at the end of the war a hundred years ago in search of the Holy Grail, but I never thought we would meet again in a place like this.!”
“…….”
“We were once enemies, but it's nice to meet a long-lived species after a long time in the world of short-lived species! How are you? Descendant of the fairy royal family.”
Verdandi opened his mouth wide..
The mouths of Godhand and the other elves, who had been watching this side with bated breath, also opened wide at the same time..
“huh? Why... … oh!”
Dusk Bringer belatedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, rolled his eyes left and right, and stammered as he asked:.
“……Maybe it was a secret... … Is it?”
“Hehehe.”
I let out a low laugh. No, I knew because I played the game..
It was a situation that Verdandi wanted to keep secret. I laughed bitterly..
“……This is why.”
Verdandi's tear-spotted green eyes were filled with resentment, and he pointed his finger at Dusk Bringer and shouted..
“This is why I hate dragons!”
Then the rest of the elves nodded vigorously in unison..
Dusk Bringer crossed his arms, sighed, and lowered his head..
“I don't like you either, you stupid traitors.…….”
As I watched the dragon and elf conflicting like this, I thought to myself,.
……By the way, are there any races that get along well with each other in this fantasy world??
