Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 333
◈ 333. [STAGE 14] Dogs on the wire
“What happened recently… … Did you take something like an elixir??”
Saint Margerita, who came to visit, asked this question:.
“ancient?”
I was shocked because it was so tweezers. what! I knew it was useful, but this isn't as good as 0.5 Heo Jun.?!
“How did you know?”
“I sense a lot of magical energy inside my body that is not my own. If I don't know about it, shouldn't I hit the priest??”
Margerita let out a cynical sigh and took her hand away from my body. The light disappeared from her hands that sparkled with divine power..
I, who was lying on the bed and putting a cold towel on my forehead, looked at Margerita with respect..
“What should I do now??”
Since we know the cause, of course we know the treatment! I asked with the expectation that.
The answer that came back was zero.
“Be sick for a few more days.”
“ancient?”
“It's simple. A process of absorbing other magical energy that enters the body is necessary. Your body hurts because of this process... … Don't worry too much, time will take care of it..”
So what is it? In the end, there is no medicine and you are left to suffer in pain..
Holy shit! 0.5 Heo Jun cancelled! It was an insult to the representative meaning of Joseon.!
“Margerita! Are you about… … 0.25 Heo Jun!”
“yes? what does that mean?”
“No, I mean you're a great doctor.…….”
As I hesitated, Margerita tilted her head and then straightened up..
“It is convenient to think of it as body aches caused by magical power. Don't overexert yourself and get some rest..”
“But today is the start of the defense battle.…….”
“Don’t you have competent subordinates? Don't worry, you'll be fine..”
Margerita said that and her shoulders trembled in shock..
“……Is it an illusion? I think I said the same thing last time..”
“huh? Was it so??”
“Last time I was overworked, this time I was sick... … Before that, the bones in my left arm were shattered. You often suffer minor injuries..”
Margerita sighed softly..
“It's only been one year since you took office, and you're steadily depleting yourself. majesty.”
“Ah, I'm sure I've heard this nagging before.…….”
“If you don't want something like this to happen again, please exercise from now on..”
“ancient?”
“If you maintain a healthy body through regular exercise, these minor illnesses will decrease. I'll tell the drivers on the way out, so when you feel better, start exercising regularly..”
Aaaah! no! I hate going outside! The prince just wants to stay in his room.!
“Cancel everything! You are 0.1 Heo Jun-!”
“Yes yes. Then take a good rest and be sure to exercise..”
Margerita went out.…….
Then my party members who were waiting outside the room rushed inside..
“I heard the whole story, senior. Leave this defense battle to us and rest well.!”
“No, I'll leave it to you, but I'll have to go along and watch.…….”
I was about to say something more, but the party members all furrowed their brows and made hmmm expressions, so I gave up..
okay. Well, this stage is definitely easier than usual..
The monster attacking this defense battle is a legion of harpies..
It's an aerial flying type, but now it's snowing season. The mobility of air units plummets..
We even provided earplugs to all soldiers in preparation for the sound waves, their main means of attack..
Moreover, the boss monster Harpy Coloratura, the corps commander unit, had already been killed during free exploration. We also eliminated many of the elite units under the boss..
It's really easy. It will be possible to conduct a defensive battle efficiently without me..
“……okay. I'll trust you and leave it to you..”
I faced Lucas, who was standing in the center of the party..
In the first place, Lucas took charge of preparing for this stage on my behalf as I was not in a good condition the past few days. It will go well.
“However, if an unexpected situation occurs, notify me immediately. Don't overdo it and carry out the operation slowly. got it?”
“I will, my lord..”
Lucas answered in a calm voice..
“Don't worry about carrying out defensive battles, get a warm and restful rest today..”
I'm still wearing a tin can, so I don't know what's inside, but I'm still reliable as the main character of this game..
“I'll be back then, senior! yap! Give me a high five!”
“Oh no. Come kill them all!”
Starting with Evangeline, the party members came out one by one, clapped their hands, and then went outside..
I looked down at the backs of my men walking away through the window..
In addition to the main party, many strong heroes are on the front lines, including Dusk Bringer's Dragon Blood Knights and Kuilan's Punishment Unit..
‘There's no need to worry.’
Now then, let’s trust my subordinates and get a good night’s sleep. If it continues to be a nuisance, it will have a worse impact on the operation of the front line..
I closed the curtains and snuggled into bed..
My whole body, which was heavy as if I had drank water, soon fell asleep as if in a dream..
***
“These days, it seems like you are becoming more and more in danger..”
South of Crossroads, forward base.
Evangeline, who was standing on the castle wall and waiting for the monsters to come, opened her mouth..
“My physical condition is also good… … I have to say that it looks like it's a little mentally driven.?”
“…….”
“I think you always feel responsible. As each and every one of his men gets hit and dies... … It's actually natural for people to die on the front lines..”
Lucas turned his helmeted face and glanced down at Evangeline..
Evangeline's fangs stood out and sparkled as she blew white breath in the face of snowflakes..
“As if it wasn't natural for someone to die. As if he wanted to change that somehow. Is that why you work so hard, going to the front lines and putting yourself in harm's way?.”
“……Do you want your lord to change??”
“well. I do not know…….”
Evangeline pursed her lips and made a whining sound..
“I don't think you are an effective commander. In order to maintain this deformed front line, I think we need to be able to calmly calculate lives like ammunition and weigh the pros and cons..”
“…….”
“But I like the current senior..”
Evangeline shrugged her small shoulders..
“In order to save his subordinates, he overexerted himself, became agitated, cried and suffered… … I like such a humane senior..”
“Hoo?”
When Lucas let out a noise as if he had caught the enemy, Evangeline made a strange noise, 'Duh!' and waved both hands with a red face..
“No! Good here does not mean rational! It means that you are worthy of respect as a superior! You know, man.?!”
“You don't have to make excuses to me, girl..”
Lucas's voice soon became heavy as he let out a chuckle..
“……I don't really know anything about my lord..”
“yes?”
“I've served him my whole life, but I still don't know what's inside him.”
It was rare for Lucas to talk about his true feelings like this. Evangeline listened to him with wide eyes..
“But I thought it was okay. It was thought that it was enough to live as a dog that cleared away obstacles in front of the lord..”
- If I forget, you lead me. I believe it.
8Just like the command I heard years ago.
Stand in front of Ash, guide the way, and kill enemies by biting them. I lived with that kind of blindness..
however.
“But these days... … It's a cheeky thing to say, but I thought I understood him a little bit..”
Without realizing it, I was going off topic..
“Because that person is human. Because it’s so human. So, without realizing it, I felt a sense of kinship. Suddenly we became friends, not masters and servants. I was feeling that way.”
Lucas' hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist was squeezed tightly..
“But these days, my lord keeps trying to go far away, as you said... … I was feeling uneasy about it just like you..”
“…….”
“I'm just a stray dog. My role is to make way for him. As if we were really friends, he was showing presumptuous concern..”
To myself who betrayed Ash and caused Dustia's death. No role beyond that of a dog is allowed..
I forgot about it for a while, but this time I became aware of my role... … It must be because of the past that suddenly came back to me..
“…….”
Lucas closed his eyes tightly inside his helmet and muttered quietly..
“……okay. The dog needs to be faithful to its role as a dog..”
“yes?”
“Evangeline. Will you be able to lead the defensive battle today??”
Evangeline, startled by the sudden words, opened her eyes wide..
Lucas glanced back towards the Crossroads..
“I have something else to do.”
“…….”
“Please.”
Evangeline pursed her lips. The girl's prominent fangs pressed gently against her lower lip..
Just as Ash is becoming unstable, Lucas, you are also becoming increasingly endangered..
I'm worried about you.
Evangeline didn't say what she was thinking..
“great! Bye.”
Instead, he smiled cheerfully..
“I’ve always wanted to lead a troop! In the end, I am the one who becomes the margrave of this place! You should practice in advance!”
Although Lucas' face was not visible under the tin helmet, Evangeline thought he was smiling..
“Thank you, Evangeline. then.”
Lucas turned around and walked towards the teleport gate installed at the forward base..
Evangeline stared at the knight's back as he walked away in the pouring snow, then turned to the other side again..
Far away in the black lake to the south, strange feathered birds were seen crawling out with terrible cries..
“Full army! ready for battle-!”
The girl knight shouted boldly and adjusted her cavalry and shield..
“Let's quickly kill all the monsters and go into the hot bath to warm up our shoulders.-!”
Oh oh oh!
The soldiers responded in unison by raising their weapons upward..
Since Evangeline had been handed command several times and led battles, the soldiers were quite accustomed to Evangeline's command..
The heroes also naturally prepared for battle according to Evangeline's orders..
So towards the advance base that the humans are guarding,,
Wow!-!
Hundreds of harpies began falling across the sky..
***
Crossroads Central Prison.
“Hey, Sir Lucas.?”
“Now is the time to wage a defensive war... … Wow?!”
“Lou, Sir Lucas! What is this... … Ahhhh!”
puck! Wow! Crunchy soup……!
The guards left with a loud hitting sound..
Lucas quickly overpowered the guard post with only his bare fists and entered the prison..
Mason was waiting in his cell with a smile on his face..
“Master Lucas. You came.”
“Come out, Uncle Mason..”
Lucas found the correct key in the key pack taken from the guard captain and opened the door to Mason's cell..
He then released the four other agents who had been caught with Mason, and then stepped outside..
“Please follow me. I will guide you.”
“Just a moment, master! Start with these handcuffs…….”
Mason and the agents demanded that the handcuffs on his wrists be removed, but,
“More security forces will arrive soon. I prioritize getting out..”
Lucas exhaled coldly and took the lead honestly..
Mason and the agents had no choice but to follow Lucas in handcuffs..
There was no one on the snow-covered street. Mason grinned as we exited into a back alley on the outskirts of the city..
“You made a wise choice, Master Lucas..”
“…….”
“His Highness Fernández will treat you with no regrets. If this mission is successful, the MacGregor family will be restored, and you will also be guaranteed a high position in the imperial family..”
While listening to Mason's repeated words like a parrot, Lucas's feet suddenly stopped while wandering through the snow-covered alley..
“……However, there is one thing I don’t understand. Mr. Mason.”
Lucas turned around and tilted his helmet-clad head to the side..
“His Highness Fernández, why did you ask for ‘something like that’??”
A few days ago, when I visited Mason at night. Lucas listened to Fernandez's demands.
I also heard exactly what Mason's mission was here..
But I couldn't understand it.
Fernandez gave Mason a truly bizarre mission..
So I asked again, but Mason just burst out laughing..
“Aren’t we hounds who just follow what we’re told? If you want to bite, bite, if you want to come, come, if you want to die, well, die..”
“…….”
“The content of the mission is none of our business. What matters is whether you can perform it or not. That's it.”
“…….”
“So, master. If we go this way, will we be able to carry out our mission??”
“no.”
sreung-
Lucas slowly pulled out his long sword, [Karma Eater] from his waist..
The smooth blade gave off an eerie metallic glow as it hit the cold air..
“you all die here.”
The four agents behind Mason took a step back, startled. Mason was looking at Lucas with his eyebrows crossed..
Lucas muttered while spitting out white breath..
“I will never betray my master again.”
“…….”
“So, Uncle Mason. Even if you were a loyalist to my family…….”
The bright blue light coming out of Lucas' helmet was so vivid that it almost looked like flames..
“If you are my master's enemy, I will cut you down..”
“…….”
“In the name of McGregor, I will take responsibility for the dirty blood on my own... … Please die quietly here..”
Mason, who was quietly listening to Lucas' words, slowly opened his mouth to the left and right..
“iced coffee…….”
In a bushy beard,
A wild and ferocious smile appeared..
“As expected, I knew it would be like this?”
Laughing like he couldn't bear it because he was so happy.
