I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 373
◈ 373. [STAGE 15] Trap (2)
Before Stage 10, I was a good player..
He was a nerd who cleared the game within the established rules of the game and within the permitted standards..
However, during Stage 10, I was struck by a werewolf army and a wolf king, and I realized.
This world follows the rules of the game, but in the end it is reality..
There is no need to be bound by the narrow fence of rules..
So I decided to use every means at my disposal to overcome the rules, trample on the rules, and ultimately win the game outside the rules..
I decided to become the so-called tyrant who defines the principles of this front..
But, in fact, I was always bound by the rules..
While he tried to twist and apply other rules, he was hanging himself on the final rule..
That rule is the general principle of ‘kill monsters and protect people.’.
I thought that this definition should not be abandoned. But Kali-Alexandr said.
Even throw away that last rule..
Is it inside the rules or is it outside the rules? The very act of questioning like this is evidence that one is always conscious of the line called the rule..
The monster who completely breaks away from the rules and lines - the prince - is the one who can ultimately win..
***
The time has come for the commander's meeting to end. Kali-Alexandre slowly got up from her seat..
《I spoke at length, but in the end, this is just my theory about the emperor..》
He adjusted his helmet as a habit..
《You probably have your own theory of kings. And which side's kingship theory is stronger will be confirmed in the battle that will now take place..》
“…….”
《Let's give each other a good fight, Ash..》
Then, he extended his right hand forward..
I was embarrassed and looked down at the goblin's right hand stretched out in front of me. Then Kali-Alexandre looked embarrassed..
《hmm… … Don’t people of today’s generation use this kind of greeting method??》
“……no. I was embarrassed for a moment.”
I also slowly stretched out my hand to face him..
The hands of the Goblin God King and the Human Commander held each other in the air..
His studded leather gloves and my black leather gloves gripped each other tightly and then released..
“Thanks for the advice, Carly-Alexandre..”
I opened my mouth.
“I still don't know which way to go.”
《hmm?》
“Am I still a good player trapped within the rules, a tyrant outside the rules, or will I become a monster, completely outside the rules?.”
I don't know what kind of person I will be in the future. but.
“But one thing is certain.”
《what is that?》
To the Goblin God King who listened to me seriously,
Smirk.
I smiled evilly..
“No matter what I become, I use all the means I have... … That I'm going to end you!”
Kugugugugung Palace-!
The earth began to tremble.
Confused, Kali-Alexandre looked around. A surprised voice came out of his mouth..
《This……?!》
Sigh.!
Beneath the earth, a hidden gray fortress rises.
A gray wall rising from the earth and rock suddenly emerged and surrounded Kali-Alexandre..
[Proclamation of Imperial Decree].
My ultimate skill, summoning a magic fortress that can change its form at will..
《Is this your fortress summoning technique?! But since when?-》
“Since when?.”
I laughed out loud.
“That's right from the beginning.”
Before the goblin army arrived in front of the Crossroads gate, the [Imperial Decree Declaration] was activated early in the morning before the sun had even risen..
Then, they changed the shape of the fortress and hid it under the ground, and some of the walls of the fortress were transformed into tables and chairs..
The white flag fluttering next to it was a bonus.
Afterwards, I drank the magic potion and the magic juice made by Junior to withstand the magic consumption required to summon the fortress..
Until the goblins are in my mouth…….
Afterwards, when Kali-Alexandr was seen, [Commander's Talk] was activated and succeeded in luring them there..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo-!
Eventually, my gray fortress rose up and looked a little like a prison..
It's similar to when we locked up the Aegis Special Task Force a while back. The difference is that this time I'm on the inside.
And that too, with the enemy commander..
ring-
[The duration of the [Commander's Conference] has ended..
The 'non-aggression' status between the two commanders was terminated. Now we can attack each other.
Carly-Alexandre looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, and I belatedly got up from my chair..
“What is the scariest thing about the goblin army? number? belligerence? It's all scary, but... … In my opinion, what makes the Goblin Legion the most powerful is.”
I slowly stretched out my hand and pointed at the enemy commander..
“It's you. Kali-Alexandre. Without you, your legion is as good as losing its head..”
《ash……!》
“I was wondering how I could kill you. It nullifies all long-distance attacks and magic... … In the end, you have to drag him into close combat, but he doesn't do well on the front lines..”
I slowly pulled out a green dagger from my belt..
[Gablisk].
This is the ‘knife that kills greenskins’ that an unknown person gave me a while ago..
“But now that I think about it, if you are willing to come into my gap... … You already showed it yourself?”
In a free dungeon exploration the other day,.
Kali-Alexandr showed up on his own, invited me to a meeting, and spoke within arm's reach of me..
“So I dug a trap.”
At that time, the conditions were not right so I couldn't catch or kill him..
this time is different.
From the beginning, I requested a commander's meeting in order to trap him and kill him, and he got caught without even knowing it was a trap..
“ruler…….”
I pointed the drawn green dagger forward and grinned..
“Let’s dance the sword dance inside this prison with me. god king.”
《……I guess you underestimated me too much, Ash..》
sreung-
Kali-Alexandr pulled a scimitar from her belt..
《Although I am a goblin, I am a warrior who slaughtered all seven orc lords of the time with my own hands. Are you confident that you can defeat me on your own??》
“I'm sorry.”
Taaak!
I snapped my fingers..
“I never said I was alone either.”
The opponent is a boss monster.
The boss is basically a raid..
flashing!
A subspace opened behind me, and my captured monsters poured out..
[Capture Monster: Summoned Lv.30 Skeleton Knight (R).]
[Capture Monster: Summoned Lv.35 Scorpion Warrior (R).]
[Captured Monster: Summoned Lv.40 Troll Royal Guard (SR).]
[Capture Monster: Summoned Lv.45 Hawkbear Assassin (SR).]
Skeletons, scorpions, trolls, and finally hawkbears appeared..
Five if you include me.
1It's a dog party.
“Don't say it's mean.”
My captured monsters slowly surrounded Kali-Alexandr. I also adjusted my dagger and muttered..
“In the first place, you invaded with troops dozens of times larger than ours. Isn’t this war??”
《……Haha.》
Carly-Alexandre laughed..
I chuckled..
“why? Do you feel betrayed because I called you for a meeting and then set a trap for you? Did you feel like you had become friends beyond just me and Pia after chatting and exchanging a few poems??”
《…….》
“Or were you disappointed that they used this shortcut rather than a proper head-to-head match? Are you even considering morals and honor, monster??”
《No, Ash. Absolutely not. Quite the opposite..》
Cali-Alexandre laughed heartily once more, his red eyes flashing beneath his mask..
《Yes, this is how war works.!》
“……!”
《The one who fights and kills and survives, using all the resources they have, wins! War is such essential barbarism! trap? Expedient? Who cares! That too is just a means to victory! Morality? honor? I've never found anything like that in my life.!》
The tip of the Goblin God King's sword was aimed at my neck..
《Anyway, we have to die and die! I guess the method is good! In the end, the only things that remain in history are winners and losers.!》
“…….”
《You've cornered me so completely. That's great, Ash.!》
The Goblin God King is the most powerful of the goblins. Plus, I'm receiving boss corrections..
But, at least it's a goblin.
The innate potential itself is low. Even the strongest individual within the species has clear limits..
Moreover, Kali-Alexandr's weakness is close combat..
He won't make it out of here alive. You will know for yourself.
《Now, try killing me. Kill me and stand over my corpse to prove it! You are stronger! That you are more worthy of survival!》
But why?.
A faint joy could be heard in the voice of the God King as he adjusted his scimitar and took a fighting stance..
《Of course, it won't be that easy.》
Taat-!
All of my captured monsters rushed at him at once..
The Goblin God King also charged in, wielding a scimitar..
As soon as the defense battle began, the boss monster raid began..
***
A gray fortress suddenly rose in the center of the battlefield..
The rising fortress swallowed up the commanders of both armies..
The human soldiers didn't panic because they had heard what was said in advance, but the goblins were different..
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kirik! Kiririk!
The goblins were extremely embarrassed and excited at the same time..
In the sudden absence of the commander-in-chief, the goblin army quickly got out of control..
Doo doo doo doo-!
And started running.
To the gray fortress that swallowed their king.
At the same time, as many as fifty turrets rose up around the gray fortress..
Clap! Clap! Cheolkeong!
Drurly-!
‘Shield Turret’, a tank unit that taunts enemies in a wide area’.
AoE CC and slow specialist 'Magic Turret'’.
‘Automatic defense turret that automatically fires magic bullets’’.
[Within the scope of [Imperial Decree Declaration], the limit on the number of summons disappears. Using this, Ash poured out all of his remaining magic core and summoned it..
The shield turrets standing in formation taunted the goblins at once, and the magic turrets sprayed wide-area slows over the heads of the goblins who were attacking them as if they were possessed..
The automatic defense turret's shells tore apart the bodies of the goblins, who were struggling as they slowed down..
At first glance, it appears to be an excellent defense, but in fact, its limitations were clear..
The durability of the shield turret was steadily being eaten away, and the automatic defense turret required a long reload time..
If the goblin army continued to attack at this rate, the Gray Fortress would not be able to hold out for long and fall..
So Ash laid one more paving stone..
Grumbling-!
The bright blue mana particles swirled like flames, drawing a line in the air, and eventually began to form a single shape..
It was a summoning spell..
And what was summoned-
《……Kyahot.》
It was a troll of enormous stature, wearing a turban adorned with jewels..
troll king.
A one-time boss monster summoned with a summon scroll obtained after defeating an army of trolls..
《Kyahaha, hahaha-!》
The Troll King rushed forward, letting out a laughing sound that was similar to the main body, unlike a summoned beast..
Kwakwang-!
The Troll King planted himself in the middle of the enemy lines and began fighting with the goblins..
Tanking ability is one of the strongest boss monsters in the world, so it will support the defense line at least for the duration of the summoning period..
“…….”
The shoulders of the human soldiers who were watching this scene from the castle wall all twitched and trembled..
Among the Goblin Legion troops pouring down like a wave, the central army rushed towards the Gray Fortress, but the remaining two wings were different..
They were running towards the walls of Crossroads..
“whole army-!”
Lucas shouted, pulling out the blade of light of his sword - [the bestowed sword]..
“ready for battle-!”
