Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 361
◈ 361. [STAGE 15] Opening War)
Afterwards, I toured the forward base with Lily and talked to several union leaders who were renovating the area..
After examining the various equipment that would be used in this defense battle, the union leaders finally guided me to a room in the basement of the forward base..
“I heard that this time the operation is being carried out on the premise of the fall of the forward base here..”
“That's how it happened.”
“Your Majesty often directs in person, but it seems that a dangerous situation may arise just in case.…….”
The union leaders manipulated the basement wall and opened a hidden stone door..
“We have created a space where you can safely escape in case of an emergency..”
“Hoo…….”
“It was not installed spatially and robustly, but a camouflage spell was applied. Still, if you stay inside, you'll be able to stay undetected for a few days..”
I opened my eyes wide in surprise and looked inside..
The space is narrow enough for one person to barely fit into it. There is also some water and dry goods inside..
As a test, I put myself into that space. It's narrow enough that you can barely move around. This is almost like a coffin..
“It's a bit narrow.”
“This is a single-person facility exclusively for His Highness in case of emergency..”
“Can't we build it bigger? So that about ten people can fit in.…….”
“There is a lack of facilities, resources, and space to that extent. First of all, it won't be safe..”
Well, the larger the space, the higher the chance of being discovered by enemies..
“In any case, it is an emergency facility for emergencies..”
“okay. I should avoid hiding in places like this in the first place..”
Anyway, thank you for this kind consideration. I expressed my gratitude to the union leaders..
After coming up to the ground, I gestured toward the south..
“Lastly, let's go see that damn lake.”
Take the teleport gate and go to [Lakeside Ferry].
The entrance to hell where monsters will rise when the invasion begins. We arrived at the Black Lake.
thud! thud! thud!
Bang bang bang bang bang…….
A loud hammering sound echoes around you..
On the shore of this lake, more workers than those stationed at the forward base were gathered, sweating profusely while constructing something..
It was a ‘trap’ that we worked hard to prepare for..
Lily, who was looking down at the huge structure, swallowed her dry saliva..
“Is this really… … Will it work??”
“It's well worth the walk.”
With my arms crossed, I looked closely at the structure being built steadily..
If only this worked properly.
This defense... … You can win very easily. You can eat it completely raw..
“Come on, everyone! The monster invasion is just around the corner.!”
I looked around at the workers working by the lakeside and encouraged them loudly..
“You are protecting the world! Let's do our best for a few more days!”
***
Time passes so quickly.
One day before the monsters invaded the forward base. night.
“…….”
I was taking a final look at the strategy plans that were scattered on my desk..
Although he had trained his heroes and soldiers to master various strategies, this battle was of unprecedented scale..
Will everything be possible within the framework of these operations?…….
It was then.
Knock. smart. Knock.
There was a knock on the office door..
Once, twice, once. There is only one person knocking with that pattern. i answered.
“come in.”
Squeak-
It was Lucas who opened the door and came in. I narrowed my eyes..
This guy has been knocking in that way ever since the last special unit incident..
It seems to be a secret password that was decided with Ash in his childhood..
I accidentally used that pattern during the last incident, and since then, it seems like I've mistakenly thought I was going back to my old memories..
No, it's just a pattern that came to mind and was used. How would I know about Ash's childhood memories?…….
Anyway, this time, Lucas came in with that knock and smiled. I put down the papers and winked..
“Uh, Lucas. There's a fight starting tomorrow morning, so what can I do if I don't sleep??”
The answer came out from behind Lucas' back..
“A senior like that, what are you doing when you’re not sleeping?!”
Evangeline's small face popped out from behind Lucas. Then Damian and Junior's heads popped out from behind Lucas' back..
“Good night, prince.!”
“Haha, don't scold me too much, Your Highness.…….”
They were the main party members. These guys came with drinks and snacks in their hands..
“We had a meeting in the living room to prepare for tomorrow's strategy, but it's already this time..”
Lucas explained..
“I was about to have a late-night snack, but the light in the master's office was turned on. So I thought it would be good to eat them together..”
“I am grateful, but I am busy.…….”
I was about to refuse, but Evangeline was already flopping down on the sofa in my office..
“Oh my! Just by looking at it, it looks like you'll be wrapping your head around it for a few more hours! Don't do that, just play with us for 10 minutes.!”
“Yonseok……!”
“The exam is right around the corner, but if you take another look at the notes you've already memorized, will your grade go up? It may be more efficient to take a breather and rest.?”
Okay, that doesn't make any sense.…….
“We're as nervous as a bowstring that's been pulled tightly, so we're doing this on purpose to ease the tension. Senior, please join us too.!”
“uh? You guys were nervous too.?”
“Then you won't be nervous? The monsters are so numerous, they suddenly become party leaders, and…….”
Evangeline pursed her lips and purred..
“It's the first time my main party with my senior has been disbanded, so I'm a little anxious.…….”
“…….”
Come to think of it, it was the first time that the main party was officially disbanded..
After the party was confirmed with these members, we maintained the form of one party no matter whether I ascended to the ecliptic or whether we each acted separately..
This is the first time that all five of us have been separated. This is each of our first time becoming party leaders. It might be embarrassing.
Moreover, as many as 50,000 monsters are coming... … These guys must have complicated feelings too..
I smiled and put down the folder I was reading..
“you all will do well.”
Because they are all talented young people.
Because they are heroes I can trust and entrust to them..
“Okay, okay. Let's just rest for 10 minutes.”
“Yeah~”
Evangeline let out a strange cheer..
As if they had been waiting, the main party members sat down on the sofa in the office one after another and started chatting quietly and eating snacks..
As I swallowed my share of the hot coffee that Lucas gave me, I thought to myself,.
With these children, we will be able to overcome this battle and future battles well..
Surely... … I think so.

Manor house annex. Shadow Troop's Accommodation.
Lily and Godhand were sitting side by side on the bench in front of the door..
Lily, who had been sitting silently looking up at the night sky, opened her mouth first..
“God Hand.”
It was an awkward few days after that, but I finally gathered up the courage to.
Lily tried to say.
“we…….”
“Lily.”
But God Hand hit the player..
“Let's not have children.”
“yes?”
Lily, embarrassed, looked towards Godhand. Godhand was facing Lily with a serious face..
“If you don't want to get married because you're afraid the child will be unhappy, then don't have my child..”
“No, that's it…….”
I've just decided that it's okay to have a child.…….
Godhand continued talking to Lily who was confused..
“I'll give up on an elf-style marriage..”
“uh? Elven wedding? what is that?”
“We are building a bridal room on a tree. You have to live on a tree for the first week of your newlywed life. Only this way can you receive the energy of the World Tree..”
“No, what kind of squirrel is it?!”
“Oh, and you should only eat what comes from trees. Fruits, nuts, leaf shoots, things like that.…….”
Isn’t this a complete idiot race??!
God Hand nodded at Lily, who was scared..
“I'll give up everything.”
“huh……?”
“As long as you stay by my side, nothing else matters. I don't need it all.”
Godhand reached out and took Lily's hand..
“therefore… … please be with me.”
“…….”
Lily smiled bitterly and held God Hand's hand..
“Let’s think about it together..”
“yes?”
“There are still many days left for us, right? I'll tailor it to you as well. Whether it’s a child or an elven wedding… … I will consider it positively. Let’s think more together..”
Immediately afterwards, Lily shook her head..
“……no. Anyway, setting up a wedding room on a tree was too much. That's not allowed.”
“They say it’s really fun when you actually try it. Still, there is that beautiful tree I saw in the southwest of this city.-”
“I will not! I won't do it!”
Godhand became sullen as Lily shook her head violently..
Lily, who laughed unconsciously at that sight, leaned towards God Hand..
“I like you, Godhand.”
“……Lily.”
“I want to get along better with you for a long time... … So this battle, you have to be careful..”
Lily says yap! She made a sound and clenched her fists..
“If you are in crisis, call my name. I will fly and save you. Roast all the enemies.”
God Hand burst out laughing..
“I will only trust you, Lily..”
Lily's head rested on Godhand's shoulder. Godhand gently placed his cheek on top of Lily's red hair..
The lovers, leaning on each other, quietly looked up at the stars in the distant southern sky..

……night was passing by.
To be fair to all, time has passed.
Forward base simple lodging.
Even though there is a big battle tomorrow, Kuilan and the punishment unit sleep peacefully scratching their bellies.,
Crossroads Refuge.
To Dusk Bringer and her knights who go around checking to see if their people are spending the late winter night well.,
Dungeon Base Camp.
To Verdandi and the Holy Grail Exploration Team, who were very nervous about participating in the battle on the ground.,
Cities near Crossroads.
To Serenade and her ancestors who arrived here along the evacuation procession.,
To countless heroes, soldiers, workers, citizens, and.
“……God, please.”
Temple.
To Margerita, who finishes her day's work at dawn and prays in front of the statue of the goddess before going to sleep..
“So that even one patient can save many patients and their lives. give me strength…….”
and. also.
Accommodation of the leper extermination unit.
Even to Thorkell, who cannot take off his helmet even when he falls asleep..
“…….”
Instead of praying to the goddess like I always did before a battle. Instead, to this man who looked up at the pale moon until dawn came..
Time flows mercilessly equitably..
And, far away in the east-
the sun started to rise.
Burning darkness and respite, the day of war... … It was getting brighter.
***
dawn.
The Goblin God King's simple lodgings are simply decorated..
《Great Kali-Alexandr.》
Just then, one of his goblin subordinates, Amir, came in and informed Kali-Alexandr, who was fully dressed and wearing a cape..
《It's invasion day.》
《hmm.》
Lastly, Kali-Alexandr, wearing a scimitar at his waist, nodded..
《egg plant.》
flutter!
When Kali-Alexandre left the bunkhouse, it was the main square..
His 50,000-strong army was waiting there in orderly fashion..
thud! thud! thud!
The goblins all slammed their weapons on the ground. The whole area shook from the sound of weapons being struck at once..
It was a spectacle that made my heart tremble..
Suddenly, the faces of the wizard couple who took her in and raised her appeared in Kali-Alexander's mind..
A bitter smile crossed Carly-Alexandre's lips..
‘iced coffee. mother, father.’
Rather then. When you found me in the fields.
You should have killed me…….
If that were the case, this monster wouldn't have been born.-
《It's time to go! Kill all humans and burn all royalties.!》
The Goblin God King put on a helmet that combined a mask and a crown and spoke succinctly..
《Because we were born for that.》
So, the war began.
