Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 336
◈ 336. [STAGE 14] Intention)
Godhand's voice cuts out, and I am nervously focusing my attention..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
heavy footsteps, and.
Squeak. It's good.
I heard the sound of something being dragged..
Heavy footsteps stopped in front of me and the bag pulled off my head. Pfft?!
My vision suddenly became bright and I couldn't come to my senses. I frowned and waited for my vision to adjust..
“Good afternoon. His Royal Highness Prince Ash.”
It was the voice I heard in prison a few days ago. Soon the person in front of her was clearly visible..
“mason……!”
Sure enough, it was that spy..
Mason's entire body was covered in blood, as if he had been through some kind of fierce battle. And her physique was much bigger..
I didn't know, but I guess it was a growth period. Or maybe he did steroid doping.
Mason raised the corners of his mouth and smiled..
A bushy beard... … It's strange to say something like this, but it's stiff and strong, like that of a wild beast rather than a human's beard..
“Thanks to you, I caught the rats..”
After saying that, Mason threw what he was dragging on the floor..
“Big black!”
“…….”
They were two elves from the shadow unit. I was shocked.
“God Hand! Burnout! are you okay?!”
Mason shrugged his shoulders as he placed his boots on the bodies of the two fallen elves..
“I already knew that these friends betrayed and joined Your Highness..”
“What……!”
“That's why I leaked false information. Sure enough, he asked right away..”
A few days ago, Mason and the Aegis Task Force members passed on the information to God Hand as soon as they entered Crossroads, and God Hand immediately reported it to me..
As soon as I heard that Mason had approached Lucas, I immediately caught him and put him in jail.…….
Could it be that it was all a calculated action??
“The Aegis Task Force is not an easy place to keep a double agent alive..”
Mason chuckled as he placed his foot on Godhand's injured area..
“Aren’t you worried about your compatriots living a difficult life in the borough every day, elf? You act like this as you please. Yes?”
Kuuk-
As Mason's boots pressed down on his wound, Godhand couldn't stand it and screamed..
“Ughhh!”
“Leave it at that.!”
I shouted, and Mason glanced at me from under his thick eyebrows. I chewed it up and spit it out..
“It's okay to have elf slaves. Stop dragging your feet and tell me your main purpose.”
“The main purpose?”
“okay. There must be a reason why you came all the way to the southern tip of this distant continent and behaved like this..”
I gritted my teeth and asked.
“Is 1st Prince Lark's wife and children the target??”
“That's not our team's responsibility..”
“So, are you trying to kidnap me and kill me??”
“That's not it either. majesty. There seems to be some misunderstanding about our special task force. They are not big enough to dare harm the royal family..”
Mason babbled calmly on the subject of daring to kidnap the royal family..
I couldn't hold back and got angry..
“Then why on earth are you doing this shit? It's not like I'm joking, I look easy enough to play riddles with you?! I can't quickly resolve the main purpose and get out of my city.!”
“…….”
Mason looked surprised for a moment by my yelling, but then he burst out laughing..
“Don't get too worked up, Your Highness. It looks like you're not feeling well..”
Mason gently stroked my forehead with his thick hand..
I was very upset because he was showing such concern as if he were my uncle. I want to kill you, you bastard.!
“I understand. Actually, the reason we have brought you here is to ask you to help us with our mission... … I'll tell you everything.”
Mason brought a chair, placed it in front of me, and placed his large body on it..
And then he started talking quietly..
“His Royal Highness Prince Ash. Actually, the reason we were dispatched here... … It was a few months ago.”
“what?”
“A few months ago, when the spy network here at Crossroads was destroyed, I was given a special mission to restore the spy network and came down to carry it out..”
In the past, when it was revealed that Godhand and Margerita were spies. I destroyed the temple communication line that was connected to Margerita..
That was already more than half a year ago, but does that mean Mason has been dispatched here since then??
“Restoring the intelligence line was easily resolved. The problem was this special mission given by His Highness Fernández himself..”
Mason scratched his chin sheepishly..
“No matter how hard I tried over the past few months, I couldn't carry out that mission, and I couldn't return empty-handed like this, so I ended up resorting to the extreme measure of kidnapping His Highness Ash..”
“…….”
“We hope for Your Majesty's 'cooperation' to carry out the mission we have been given. That's it.”
I asked in a daze..
“why… … What is that mission??”
“The highest priority special mission given to us directly by His Highness Fernández is…….”
Mason hesitated for a moment, but eventually spoke honestly..
“……‘It's 'audience to the devil'.”
“……?”
Wait a minute, my thoughts hardened..
It was so unexpected nonsense that I couldn't get my head around it..
“what?”
what? What did you say just now??
Mason calmly explained once more..
“We are human representative envoys sent by His Highness Fernandez, the next emperor of the empire, and have been sent here to have a direct audience with the ‘Demon King’, the ruler of monsters..”
“…….”
After stiffening, I finally managed to let it out..
With only the utmost sincerity.
“What kind of bullshit is that, you crazy people?……?”
***
Mason revealed everything he had done to gain an audience with the Devil here at Crossroads over the past few months..
Finding a spot at Crossroads was easy.
This city, suffering from a chronic shortage of manpower, was a place that did not shy away from people coming to work..
Although people were planted in every corner and the intelligence network was quickly restored, things did not work out for the Demon King's Audience..
“I already had information that there was a dungeon under the Black Lake. The problem was how to enter the dungeon.…….”
I succeeded in entering the bottom of the black lake, but.
The main gate of the Lake Kingdom was tightly closed and would not be opened, and no other entrance could be found..
The only entrance, [Dried Drain], cannot be entered without guidance from NPCs, but recently most NPCs have been kidnapped by the nightmare army..
In the end, he couldn't even enter the Lake Kingdom, let alone have an audience with the Demon King..
“In the end, the only time when the front door was open - when the monsters were on their way out, I even went as far as to go through the open door, but I had to retreat after losing half of my agents to the pouring monsters..”
Mason, who was reminiscing about that time, bowed his head to me..
“You've been fighting such horrible monsters over and over again... … I truly respect you, Your Highness Prince Ash. This is sincere.”
“…….”
I just stared at Mason and listened. Mason shrugged his shoulders and continued..
“When I didn't know what to do and was about to give up... … I was able to get some information. It was said that His Highness Prince Ash freely came and went to the dungeon under the lake, and that guests from there once visited the Crossroads..”
“…….”
“So, our operation changed. By asking for your cooperation. However, there is no way His Majesty, who is hostile to monsters and the Demon King, will simply help you.…….”
“This is how they kidnapped and threatened me.?”
“Well, that's how it happened..”
Mason laughed bitterly. I stuttered and asked.
“What are you going to do when you meet the Great Joint Demon King? You, a human, meet that guy who is anxious to destroy the world... … What on earth are you talking about??”
Mason shrugged his shoulders and said, 'Well, since we've come all the way here, there's nothing more to hide-' and told the truth honestly..
“This is a declaration of surrender..”
“…….”
For a moment, my eyes turned white..
“……I guess I'm not feeling well.”
I shook my head, took a hard breath, and opened my mouth..
“I think you misunderstood. Say it again. what did you say?”
“This is a declaration of surrender, His Highness Prince Ash. It is an expression of humanity's complete surrender to monsters..”
Throbbing.
My head started pounding. I wanted to rub my aching temples with my hands, but my arms were tied and I couldn't move them..
At this point, this is a category that no sane person can understand..
I can't explain it other than that I'm just trolling because I'm crazy and addicted..
No, why on earth?
“Who are you, voting to leave the people who are fighting so hard and be anxious?! You crazy bastards! Right now! At the forward base, my soldiers are fighting a war against monsters, risking death.!”
He let out a loud roar. Mason just listened quietly..
“You can't help with that, but you're causing trouble and plotting behind my back like this? I just can't understand it at all! Why on earth did Fernandez rebel, and why is he trying to surrender to the devil??!”
“How could a hunting dog like me know the deep intentions of His Majesty Fernández? I'm just doing my job.”
Mason tasted bitterly, then continued..
“However, His Highness Fernandez said this:.”
“what?”
“‘'This is the only way to save the empire'.”
“…….”
“No one will understand, but this is the only way. He is willing to accept everyone's pointing and insults if it means perpetuating the empire..”
I gritted my teeth and growled..
“cannot cooperate.”
“His Royal Highness Prince Ash.”
“I think I'm crazy and would cooperate with something like that.?”
My head hurt and I felt like I was going to vomit, but I couldn't help it and screamed again..
“Fernandez is neither the emperor nor the commander of this monster front! I have no qualifications!”
“…… Well, guess what? His Highness Fernández will become the emperor, and the emperor is the one who oversees all fronts of the empire. And he represents all humans in this world..”
Mason nodded with a serious face..
“Soon this world will move according to the will of His Highness Fernández..”
“I will stop it..”
“Before that, why don't we worry about His Majesty's body first??”
Mason rose from his chair and approached me with menacing steps. I gritted my teeth..
“You said earlier that your liver is not big enough to harm the royal family.?”
“That's usually the case. However, for the sake of the mission, the Aegis Special Forces is a group of people who can create and attach livers that do not exist..”
“What a fucking crazy bastard…….”
I chewed fiercely and spat it out..
“My men will be here soon. Lucas, the master you served, will raise his sword and cut off your head..”
Mason, who came right in front of me, shrugged his shoulders..
“Master Lucas is dead..”
“what……?”
“I just pierced my heart with my own hand and I'm on my way back..”
Mason pointed to the blood splattered all over his body. I opened my eyes wide..
“Do not lie.”
“There is no salvation, Prince Ash. Please help me carry out my duties when you say kind words..”
Mason's huge hand grabbed my shoulder..
“Today I have a little patience. Beast shoes are all good, but the problem is that the strings of reason are gradually becoming thinner... … No, is this also an advantage??”
Mason smiled dangerously and tightened his grip on my shoulder.-
“It's a joke. There is a much more gentlemanly way..”
I slowly took my hand away.
Then he took out a syringe filled with pink liquid from his pocket. I opened my eyes wide..
“That couldn't be it…….”
“yes. It is a forced hypnotic drug extracted from a dream demon. In modern times, where dream horses are almost extinct, it is a really difficult item to find..”
Mason smiled confidently..
“No matter how strong your will is, this one thing is enough to make you crawl on the floor like a cute pet..”
“…….”
“Hehe, Your Majesty, you will have to do as I tell you..”
I pretended to be scared and shook my shoulders. Oh, be scared.!
‘I am completely immune to mental abnormalities.…….’
The succubus queen's charm doesn't work, so will the hypnotic drug extracted from the dream demon below work?!
This is bulletproof glass, you bastard.!
‘rather than that…….’
I bit my lip and looked outside through the window..
‘Lucas... … He died?’
