Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 350
◈ 350. [Free exploration] Poetry verse)
Woooooo-!
The horn sounds,
ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge!
The sound of a leather drum vibrates..
The skin of the monsters that appeared in an orderly manner between the fluttering dust clouds was green..
Green Skin).
This pejorative name for orcs and goblins also carries fear..
For ordinary people living in this world, these monsters that appear in large numbers from time to time were the nearest disaster..
It is a swarm of locusts, a tsunami, a plague and a forest fire..
Flowing green death. That's green skin.
However, to be honest.
For me, who came into contact with them through media such as games in a place far removed from this world. The Greenskins were nothing more or less than the image of ‘miscellaneous mobs’..
An early-stage miscellaneous mob that is just a bit outnumbered. A lump of experience that doesn't even provide valuable items.
but, but-
When it became reality, it felt different..
‘What the fuck.’
As I looked at the endless number of people coming in, I felt cold sweat running down my spine..
‘Why are there so many?’
The number of goblins lined up in front of the Colosseum seems to be around 1,000 at best..
This is strange. Isn’t this a number that only appears during the Crossroads defense battle?.
‘What's important about numbers? Yes, it's a goblin!’
The abilities per entity are literally the weakest. Among all the monsters that appear in the game, these goblins are the monsters with the lowest stats and potential..
Just rush in and kill them with ranged attacks.!
I hastily sprayed magical cores to expand the defense tower and summoned all the captured monsters I had..
Above all, we are now the aggressors - seizing the enemy's territory..
If necessary, there is a teleport gate and an emergency escape scroll. If you stumble, just run away..
thud! thud! thud!
An army of goblins dressed in medieval Middle Eastern-style armor finished their line..
The training was so thorough that the thousand goblins formed a military formation and did not move a single inch..
Knock knock, knock knock-
In front of them, a tall goblin rode on a mountain goat..
Wearing leather armor. Wearing a golden cloak. Wearing a helmet that combines a mask and a crown.
A corps commander who rules over the greenskins. The goblin god-king who enslaves orcs.
Cali-Alexandre reigned in person..
‘I never thought we'd meet right away.’
I raised the corners of my mouth with a smirk..
In the meantime, every time I came to the dungeon ahead of the boss stage, I encountered the leader of their army. It was the same for Celendion and Luna Red..
So I was expecting this guy to appear in person to some extent this time too..
And there is a crucial difference between the Vampire King, the Wolf King, and the Goblin God King. This is the strength of the boss object..
The Vampire King and the Wolf King were ridiculously overbalanced monsters whose bosses accounted for more than half of the legion's combat power..
But the Goblin God King is the complete opposite. The main body's combat power is high for a goblin, but it is so low that it cannot be compared to other bosses..
The Goblin Army is a simple mass offensive force that focuses solely on numbers, numbers, numbers rather than the strength of specific individuals..
In other words,-
‘If you encounter it in a dungeon, you can easily kill it.!’
It's much easier to kill him during an occupation war than to kill him during a defensive war! Although the number of them is not small, it is worth a try.!
“Shall I snipe you, prince??”
Damian asked me in a whisper. but i shook my head.
“……He has an item that nullifies ranged attacks. No matter how much you snipe, it won't have any effect..”
Although the Goblin God King has the weakest physical ability among all boss monsters,.
Perhaps that's why it's armed with many good items..
In particular, his armor and cloak are ridiculous items that make the owner immune to all long-distance sniping and magic attacks..
But - close combat is weak.
And most of the party members I brought this time are specialized in close combat..
If I could get close to it, I could cut off its head in one fell swoop.……!
I secretly gave these orders to the party members. The party members nodded..
When the battle begins, Junior's wide-area magic and Damian's sniping clear the way..
The punishment unit, the Dragon Blood Knights, and Lucas and Evangeline charge towards the enemy general. It was a plan to take his head..
‘Walking to my grave! stupid guy!’
I licked my dry lips as I waited for the count to start the occupation war..
If necessary, I even prepared to use [Gaddis Blessing] here. It was an opportunity to end this defensive battle for free..
It was then. Fluent language came out of Kali-Alexandr's mouth as he stepped forward..
《I didn't come to fight..》
Husky and tired... … Unexpectedly, it was a neutral sound..
《Among you, who is the guardian of royalties and the ‘player’ who stands against the King of Kings??》
Although I was asking a question, Kali-Alexandre was looking straight at me. It seemed like he already guessed that I was that player..
《i want to talk.》
“…….”
《I would like to ask you politely. talk to me.》
ring!
A message appeared before my eyes..
[The hostile corps commander ‘Kali-Alexandr’ requested a ‘commander’s meeting’..]
“…….”
Commander's Conference.
This is the special gimmick I used on Celen Dion in Stage 5..
A special gimmick exclusive to the boss stage. Neither commander character can be used for 10 turns. 100 percent success rate.
Thanks to this, I was able to tie up Selendion for 10 turns. It's a really good gimmick if used well..
For reference, during Stage 10, the distance from Luna Red was too far and the situation elsewhere was too urgent to use it..
‘Who would have thought that this would come from the monster side first?…….’
It was so absurd that I laughed out loud..
I didn't know this when I wrote it to Celendion..
“……Okay, I accept it..”
It's annoying because I got hit.!
I'm trying to kill the enemy boss, but then they suddenly say we'll have a conversation for 10 turns and we're in a state where we can't touch each other. Moreover, it cannot be rejected..
Is this the manners of this world or is it romance? shit.
When I gave the OK sign, Kali-Alexandre nodded and nodded back..
Then his subordinate goblins brought out tables and chairs and placed them in the open space between their camp and the magic fortress..
“after.”
I ran my fingers through my hair in annoyance and snapped my fingers. In response to my will, the gates of the fortress opened with a rumbling sound..
“30minute.”
As I walked out the gate, I winked at the party members..
“After the meeting is over, attack and kill that goblin immediately. got it?”
“Yes, my lord..”
Lucas answered confidently, his eyes flashing..
A panicked Dusk Bringer and Kuilan rushed to either side of me as I left..
“Ash, are you going out alone now? Isn’t it dangerous??”
“Leader! Instead of doing that, let's just attack and wipe them out! I could just make a mess with my fist.!”
I shook my head slightly..
“It doesn't work like that... … And I've had meetings with enemy commanders before. Don't worry too much.”
On top of the castle wall, Junior and Damian are staring at the goblin army with sharp eyes. You can trust me with my safety..
《…….》
On the other hand, the goblin army just stands there, expressionless and still..
Even in the face of the strange sight of their king trying to have a conversation with the enemy general alone, there was no emotional disturbance whatsoever..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
I walked and headed to the table.,
widely!
The Goblin God King lightly got off the mountain goat's saddle and stood next to the table..
We stood across the table from each other. Kali-Alexandre was the first to bow slightly and show respect..
《Kali-Alexandre. He is the commander of the goblin army..》
I also just nodded my head lightly..
“ash. He is the commander of the southern front of the Everblack Empire..”
《sit down.》
After saying that, Kali-Alexandr sat down on the chair first. I sat down too.
《…….》
“…….”
There was an awkward silence..
The Goblin God King seemed to be observing me carefully through the eyes inside the mask. I did not lose and observed the Goblin God King face to face..
The attire is similar to that of the Middle East during the Middle Ages. Looking at the scimitar, a curved sword like a crescent moon worn at the waist, it really looks like their attire..
The leather armor worn and the patterns engraved on the golden cloak are also from the Middle East..
He continued to tease me for a while longer, so I got irritated and pounded the table..
“hey. Are you going to call me to talk and then just observe my face??”
《ah… … I'm sorry about this. It's been a long time since I've seen a living human being..》
Kali-Alexandre bowed her head shyly..
《When I was alive, I couldn't talk to humans after the war broke out. After I died and came back to life here, I was in the darkness of destruction... … I haven't met a living human being.》
“…….”
《It's been hundreds of years since I've had a conversation with a living human being. I was so emotional that I committed rudeness. Don't apologize.》
I snorted and leaned back against the back of the chair..
“Okay, what did you call me for? I hope it's not a boring topic. I don't really have anything to talk about with you.”
I just want to get it over with quickly and slit your throat, you goblin bastard..
Then Kali-Alexandre looked embarrassed and opened her mouth..
《I'm sorry. Actually, I called you because of a very trivial topic..》
“A very boring topic?”
《If that's okay…….》
Kali-Alexandre hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and looked at me..
《……Can you recite a poem to me??》
……I made a request that was truly unimaginable..
***
I had a brain freeze for a moment..
It was almost a minute later that I, frozen, managed to ask back..
“……what? city? ask me to recite a poem?”
《Yes. city. No, it doesn’t have to be poetry. The lyrics are good, and if not, a short story is fine..》
Kali-Alexandre was almost praying with both hands clasped together..
《Please. The last time I heard human poetry was before I went to war. Now it's such a distant memory.》
“…….”
《If you know of any verse, even just one verse, would you mind letting me know? please…….》
I couldn't understand it at all.
Goblin? Poetry? why? And so earnestly?
There was no reason for me to refuse so coldly, and after all, I knew quite a bit about Earth's poetry..
As I lifted my head up, beyond the darkness of the vast lake kingdom, the black water surface glistened dimly in the sunlight..
It suddenly looked like a star rising in the dark winter sky..
“…….”
After catching my breath, I recited a passage from an English poem that came to mind..
Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too,
Time passes, dreams pass, youth passes.
The world's heart breaks beneath its wars,
The heart of the world is broken under war,
All things have changed, save in the east
Everything changes, the eastern sky
The faithful beauty of the stars.
The beauty of the stars remains unchanged.
The short recitation is over..
《…….》
Kali-Alexandr was silent..
I was a little puzzled. what. Ji asked me to recite a poem. Why is there no reaction??
“Hey, react to anything.…….”
In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say something.,
Pop. pop.
Then I discovered it.
Kali-Alexander's masked helmet flowing down... … water droplets.
‘What, what?.’
This guy, no way…….
“Are you crying now??”
《……iced coffee.》
Kali-Alexandre slowly lowered her head and mumbled in a voice full of moisture..
《It's so beautiful that I don't even realize it. stop…….》
I was embarrassed and was quietly looking at the Goblin God King..
Am I seeing something wrong now??
A goblin who cries because he is moved by poetry.?
《Just as transparent sunlight is filtered through a clear lens and emits a pure halo of light... … How can one not be moved when pure language is refined and creates such beautiful poetry?.》
Sobbing without wiping away her tears, Kali-Alexandre spat out the following words:.
《How can human culture be so beautiful and great? A few words touch my soul and fill this old heart with emotion..》
Kali-Alexandre looked up at the sky with a long sigh..
《My race has no poetic language, no lyrics, no plays. I, too, am violent by nature, and am only good at swarming workers, killing them, and burning them..》
“…….”
《How deplorable! How was I born a goblin?.》
I just quietly listened to the Goblin God King's mutterings..
《Just kill and burn.》
For some reason, these monsters, enemies who deserve to kill each other,.
《Just kill and burn…….》
Just a little bit, it looks pitiful.
