Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 365
◈ 365. [STAGE 15] Fallout
Just now.
When Ash's order to retreat was issued and the general soldiers began to retreat..
“after! If this is the case, is this the end of today’s battle??”
“I think so?”
A female shield warrior and a male hunter grin at each other.
These two were mercenaries temporarily assigned to the shadow unit and were a married couple..
The middle-aged woman was a skilled warrior who used a large shield and mace, and the middle-aged man was a skilled hunter who used various tools such as hunting dogs, traps, and bows..
The couple then looked at the remaining members of the shadow unit and grinned..
“The three elves had a really hard time today..”
“Do you unleash such incredible firepower in every battle? Isn't it great? I'll definitely give you some archery lessons later.!”
God Hand, Burnout, and Body Bag smiled shyly. I guess it was still awkward between these two friendly people..
This couple is said to have lived in the forest right next to the Elven Autonomous District. So there is little resistance to elves..
Ash, who recognized this tendency, assigned these two as temporary members of the shadow unit, and thanks to this, the five were able to move as one party without any problems..
“Let’s go back quickly and eat lunch first. I'm starving.”
“Hey, anyway, if this lady moves even a little bit, she’s Bob Taryeong..”
“You need to eat a good meal to gain strength. Aren’t all our mercenaries working for food? Elves think so too?”
“It's true that I'm motivated by food, but why is it my job to prepare the food?!”
“This old man is like this again. He said that the food I cooked was not tasty and that he would prepare it himself.?”
The two humans who were talking among themselves looked at the three elves and said.
“That's right, when we get back, let's all have a meal together..”
“Yes, yes! It's a memorable first battle, right? Let's eat together. I still make food worth eating better than this lady..”
“okay. My old man is bad at night, but he’s amazing at dinner? ha ha ha!”
“this… … This woman has nothing she can't say in front of others.!”
In front of the couple who was giving and receiving, the three elves looked embarrassed and looked at each other. Godhand, who smiled awkwardly, answered as the representative..
“Then, let’s have lunch together..”
“Yes, yes! Let’s fight together! Let’s eat together too! This is how we become friends. Isn’t this comradeship in arms? So honey, please grill some meat for the first time in a while..”
“It's been a while since I ate it, but I ate it yesterday too... … Oh, don't worry elves. I'll only feed this woman meat, and I'll make a delicious salad for the elves..”
The couple laughed happily.
I've been trying to become friendly with the hesitant elves, but today we finally made a big step forward by having a meal together..
The shadow unit was preparing to retreat in a more relaxed mood..
It was then.
“Get down, you bugs.-!”
The girl's loud cry echoed throughout the battlefield..
It was Dusk Bringer's Dragon Lore. It was used to buy time for retreat and to intimidate the goblin army..
Information was provided in advance that it would be used, and thanks to Ash's passive skill [Indomitable Commander], the heroes were not affected at all by Dragon Lore's fear-inducing effect..
But here a completely unexpected problem arose..
Kiing, squeaking!
The hunter husband's hunting dog was frightened by the dragon lore..
Although it was not affected by the fear condition, the hunting dog instinctively ran away at the apex predator's cry..
The movement was so sudden that my husband lost his grip on the dog's leash..
“Oh my, Bucky! The kid must have been surprised. It's Bucky!”
The hound crawled under the stone wall in the corner of the forward base and trembled. Her husband ran towards the dog in a huff..
My husband lifted the large dog into a hug. Her wife, who was watching this, shook her head..
“So what kind of dog would you bring here and make such a fuss?…….”
“Uh-huh, my Bucky and I are one in the same mind. Is there anything more precious to a hunter than a hunting dog??”
“I heard you like a dog more than your wife. I wish I could take care of that dog half as much..”
“Then you can be half as cute as this dog.!”
The husband hunter grinned as he hugged the dog..
That moment,
Kuwagwanggwang-!
The stone wall behind my husband exploded..
My husband and hunting dog were trapped under the collapsed stone wall..
Because the situation was so sudden, my wife and the elves of the shadow unit watched this scene in complete fascination..
Kirik, Kirik……!
Goblins began to climb one by one beyond the collapsed stone wall..
Goblins do not use siege weapons. This is because the equipment is heavy and, above all, too complicated for goblins to use..
Instead, goblins use soldiers of specific occupations to conduct sieges more simply and efficiently..
That occupation is a ‘suicide bomber.’.
He straps a bomb to his body, approaches the castle wall, and sets himself on fire..
It was able to destroy castle gates and walls more cheaply and efficiently than siege weapons..
It was a method that could be used because the goblin army had a surplus of lives and disregarded life..
bang! Kuwagwanggwang-!
Suicide explosions began concentrated around the castle gate, and the castle walls also began to collapse in various places..
The power of the bombs was crude, but as the numbers gathered, the castle walls were quickly damaged..
Unfortunately, my husband was swept away by this suicide bomber's first attack..
“honey!”
As explosions began to sound from all directions, my wife ran to the collapsed castle wall a beat late..
“These bastards!”
puck! Powok!
The mace in her hand splattered green blood..
After climbing up the stone wall and beating to death the goblins who were trying to enter the forward base, she looked back and shouted..
“Help me!”
“……!”
At that moment, Godhand looked back..
The forward base, where all the defensive troops had left, was quickly invaded by goblins..
The castle gate fell apart due to the suicide bomber's attack, the walls collapsed in various places, and green monsters were burrowing inside one after another..
The few remaining hero parties were also seen escaping one by one through the teleport gate. There wasn't much time now..
“Save my husband, please!”
My wife cried out desperately. Godhand closed her eyes tightly.
“……Quickly rescue from the wreckage and retreat immediately. got it?”
“yes!”
Body Bag answered sharply, and Burnout nodded as well..
The three ran to the castle wall and hurriedly cleared away the collapsed debris. Because Bodybag is a telekineticist, the rescue proceeded quickly..
Fortunately, the hunting dog was covered in blood but not seriously injured, and the husband had one of his arms crushed, but his life was not in danger..
puck! Powok!
After swinging the mace and crushing a few more goblins, the wife ran back and helped her husband up..
“You idiot! Come on walk, come on!”
“Oh my, ugh... … Walk gently, walk gently. No one died!”
“If we don't escape right away, we'll all die! Run even if it hurts!”
flashing!
The last party was seen escaping. The area around the teleport gate was already swarming with goblins..
“Uriyaaa-!”
My wife ran towards me, screaming loudly..
She blazed a path ahead, swinging her mace and shield, and the three elves followed, showering arrows and iron spears..
whirring-!
The husband, who was staggering along, whistled a command to the hunting dog, and even though it was covered in blood, the hunting dog nimbly ripped off the goblins' throats with its teeth..
Smashing the goblins, the shadow unit arrived in front of the teleport gate..
My wife, who reached the gate first, looked back with a bright smile. She smiled and opened her mouth.
“thank you so much. I survived thanks to you…….”
Kwagwagwagwang!
she couldn't speak.
This was because the cannonball that flew from the castle wall hit the gate directly..
The gate shattered with a terrible explosion, and my wife rolled across the floor covered in blood..
When the frightened Godhand looked up at the wall, there were goblin amirs..
They changed the direction of the cannon installed on the castle wall and fired it in this direction..
Even though they poured oil and set fire to keep it out of their hands, some of the gates were still usable..
Even while on fire, the cannons fired shells..
bang! Quaguagwang……!
All teleportation gates installed in the central courtyard were completely destroyed..
“Pfft……!”
God Hand made a quick decision amidst the thick smoke and dust..
He ran into the hallway leading to the building inside the forward base and hid, with Body Bag and Burnout following closely behind him..
The three elves hid in the shadows. But her wife warrior and her husband hunter did not.
“Haha... … Ahhhh…….”
My wife got caught up in the explosion and stumbled to her feet, covered in burns..
Goblin soldiers were rushing around her with their eyes shining red..
Sigh! Puff poop poop!
The goblins' spears and swords pierced her thighs and sides..
My wife vomited blood and swung the mace, but her usual speed and power were no longer present..
Kirik, Kiririk!
Kikikick……!
Laughing at her slow movements, the goblins pulled the spear knife out of her body and stabbed her again. Sigh! puff puff……!
“ah…….”
With spears and knives stuck all over her body, my wife slowly collapsed. The life drained from her eyes as she lay helpless on the dirt floor..
Goblin soldiers jumped up and down in joy around her..
The goblins took up their spears again to cut up her body..
whistling-!
At that time, a whistle sounded.
At the same time, the hunting dog rushed in and bit the goblins' necks roughly..
Then, the husband hunter appeared through the smoke and fired the crossbow in his right hand in all directions..
The goblin soldiers fell to the ground, shedding blood. However, there were far more intact goblins than fallen goblins..
The hound fought bravely, the complete opposite of how it ran away from Dragon Lore..
As the hero hunter's partner, it was a dog faster and stronger than most wolves..
However, due to an injury from being crushed by a stone wall, the speed was slower than usual, and above all, there were too many enemies..
When the tired hunting dog stopped for a moment after biting and killing the eighth goblin, arrows flew from the castle wall, aiming precisely at the hunting dog..
Puff poop poop……!
Although it was a dog wearing leather armor, it could not block all arrows. Arrows were stuck all over the body of the hunting dog..
The husband fired a crossbow with his good arm, threw a smoke trap, sprayed caltrops, and killed the goblins that approached by stabbing them with a dagger in their mouths, heading to his wife's side..
“……Anyway, it's a damn woman..”
But my wife had already collapsed and died, covered in blood..
“He asked me to prepare lunch. You're sleeping again. If you only sleep a lot in the morning.”
The husband knelt down next to his wife and lifted his crushed hands to close her open eyelids..
He muttered in a hushed voice..
“If you only sleep a lot in the morning…….”
Kiing…….
At that time, the hunting dog limped to my husband's side and let out a faint groan. The husband looked at his dog and found arrows stuck all over the dog's body..
“I'm sorry, Bucky. I'm sorry dad…….”
My husband sat down and faced the dog, who was breathing in pain, and tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand..
deeply…….
The husband hugged his dog and drove a dagger into its neck..
It was to quickly relieve the pain. The hound closed its eyes peacefully without making a sound..
“…….”
After looking around at the bodies of his wife and dog, the hunter slowly raised his head..
Knock knock, knock knock…….
A goblin riding a mountain goat was entering the now deserted forward base..
Wearing a helmet combining a mask and a crown, and waving a golden cape.…….
Kali-Alexandr silently drove the goat to the hunter's side and drew her scimitar from the scabbard on her belt..
Deng Geng-!
And then, I cut off his head cleanly..
The body of the hunter who lost his head collapsed to the side helplessly. Kali-Alexandr swung the scimitar to shake off the blood and opened his mouth..
《The damage is?》
One goblin, Amir, who came up next to him, quickly responded..
《Kirik! One hundred Janissaries. General soldier 1,800..》
《We lost Lee Cheon, but this side only lost two??》
After glancing down at the two dead human heroes, Kali-Alexandr turned her head..
《The humans seem to be actively using the teleport gate. If you see these stone structures, destroy them as soon as you see them..》
《Kirik, yes.》
《Okay, and…….》
Kali-Alexandr's masked helm glared inside the forward base..
《Completely occupy this facility and conduct a thorough search..》
The shoulders of the three shadow troops who were crouching in the shadows, holding their breath and watching this scene, twitched and trembled..
《……Because it seems like there are more hidden rats..》
