Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 375
◈ 375. [STAGE 15] One-way street (2)
Goblins have low intelligence.
But I know how to learn.
We have already learned the hard way during the last three days of march that there are excellent snipers among humans..
The snipers who attacked the goblin army as guerrillas persistently targeted only the officers, and the Amir and Janissaries were killed in droves..
Every night the Goblin God-King had to promote new Amirs and Janissaries..
It was obvious that the sniper would only target officers during this siege..
That's why Kali-Alexandre prepared a tactic of deception..
They supplied high-quality armor to ordinary goblins and painted patterns on their faces..
The number is over one hundred.
During this time, the real goblin amirs took off their armor and instead applied orc blood to their bodies..
Goblins, who had a sensitive sense of smell and were ruled by orcs for hundreds of years, were able to distinguish the smell of orcs even in the middle of the battlefield..
Goblin amirs make their presence known through scent..
The humans on the walls couldn't find them, but the goblins could recognize each other's ranks..
While the human snipers shot and killed the decoys, the emirs mixed in with the regular soldiers and delivered commands..
As a result, the goblin army was able to maintain its formation and continue charging as planned in advance, even in the absence of the God King and even while falling into madness..
《The great Kali-Alexander predicted every situation..》
The old goblin, the eldest of the Goblin Amirs and who has been with Kali-Alexander in the war from the beginning, muttered..
《Since he was assassinated in his previous life and was unable to accomplish his great work, he decided to always have a plan in place in this life. So that the army can move even if you disappear.…….》
In the past life, when Kali-Alexandr was assassinated, the goblin army collapsed and the greenskin kingdom fell..
That's why Kali-Alexandr has prepared a plan for his absence this time..
The camp was set up so that the army could only charge forward, and officers were instructed to supervise only that charge..
And everything was going right.
Although the God King was kidnapped by the enemy general, the goblin army's advance effectively reached right in front of the castle walls..
《……But, great god-king. we need you.》
It was exactly the same analogy given by the Orc Emperor Dymark..
The goblins were nothing more than dogs chasing the carriage. It was close to a beast driven by instinct..
If you ask me, they were wildfires and typhoons. It was close to a disaster that wanted to kill and burn everything in front of it..
It was the god-king who gave them direction..
Without the God King, the goblin army will eventually self-destruct, just as a wildfire that has lost something to burn will die out and a typhoon that has lost steam will die out..
《Please come back safely.》
And together we set this world on fire.
The old goblin repeated and gestured. The goblin Janissaries recognized his signal and waved their hands..
Kyaaaaa-!
Kirik! kirick!
Two goblin elite units waiting at the rear stepped forward..
Goblin tank corps. and.
Cheolkeong!
bang!
A secret trick that the God King kept secretly..
It was an engineer corps.
***
Going to school!
Damian gritted his teeth and sharpened his crossbow..
The arrow fired from afar fell in a beautiful parabola and knocked down the armored goblin..
We were in no position to decide whether the opponent Amir had proliferated or whether it was a simple deception tactic..
If there was a real officer among them, I had to shoot him anyway..
“huh?”
Damian, who continued sniping frantically, discovered something..
The entire goblin army was approaching the castle walls, and something was seen being prepared in the rear units..
Damien recognized the identity and shouted urgently..
“It's a catapult-!”
“……!”
Lucas was using his sword to cut off the goblins' arrows that kept falling on the castle wall, and he urgently looked in the direction Damian was pointing..
Behind the goblin army, a catapult was being assembled, albeit in a crude form..
Going to school!
Damian quickly fired an arrow in that direction, but the goblins finished assembling the catapult without caring whether the ally next to them died or not..
There is no technology to build a catapult strong enough to throw heavy rocks at goblins..
So then what they are trying to throw away now is-
slap-!
The catapult, which was clumsily made of wood and string, spun around and fired out something that was hanging down..
It screamed as it flew through the air and towards the castle wall..
Kyaaaak-!
Lucas recognized the identity and shouted..
“It's a suicide bomber-!”
However, the goblin suicide bomber did not reach the castle walls..
The power of the catapult was not sufficient, and the distance it flew was short. A suicide bomber stuck in an awkward position in the middle of the castle wall exploded..
Kwakwang!
The iron plate surrounding the castle wall was slightly dented, and several bricks fell..
But despite its unsightly power, the people on the castle walls could not laugh..
nettle liquid!
Because dozens of goblin suicide bombers were flying all at once across the air..
bang! Kwagwagwagwang!
Not a single one fell over the castle wall. They all hit the middle or bottom of the castle wall and exploded..
However, the Goblin Engineers did not give up and continued to throw suicide bombs. And their point of impact rose higher and higher..
Kwasik-!
Lucas was forced to adjust his defensive tactics when one of the suicide bombs finally detonated on the steel plate just below his feet..
“Damian! Can you and your party members' magic guns reach the range of their catapults??”
“yes However, our sniping skills are limited to shooting and killing the engineers, and they keep shooting by switching shooters regardless of whether they die or not! In the end, you have to destroy the catapult itself.!”
“What has that range and firepower?…….”
When Lucas looked at Junior, Junior shook his head..
They were continuing their attacks just barely out of the effective range of the magic..
Junior's own magic was enough to destroy one or two catapults, but it was too much to take out all of them..
The wizards under his command do not have the ability to fire attacks to that distance in the first place.…….
Then Damian shouted.
“What about our cannons? It has a long range and has enough power.!”
However, if the cannon fire net is turned to the enemy's rear line now, the front line that is barely blocking it will be breached..
Lucas hesitated for a moment, but eventually made up his mind..
This was because a group of suicide bombers slowly flew in, put their hands on the edge of the castle wall, and then climbed up..
Kirik, Kirik……!
For the first time, a goblin suicide bomber stood atop the walls of the Crossroads and grinned..
Deng Geng-!
The blade of light wielded by Lucas cut off the guy's head in one fell swoop. The corpse, spewing green blood, exploded beneath the castle walls..
However, goblin suicide bombers continued to fall on the castle wall. Lucas yelled..
“Artillery unit! Change aim! Destroy their catapults.!”
The artillery commander urgently objected..
“Then, good luck! The goblin leader will reach the walls.!”
“Cover the empty screen with all your artifacts! Destroying the catapult is more urgent than that! hurry……!”
At that time, a suicide bomber fell on the castle wall and flew in front of the cannon..
“this?!”
Damian quickly pulled out his pistol [Cerberus] and shot the guy's head off, but the guy's body was already exploding..
Kwakwang-!
The explosive power of the goblins is crude. Crude, but good enough.
Gunpowder and sparks rained down in all directions along with the torn pieces of goblin flesh, hitting the piled up cannon shells..
Kwagwagwagwang!
The cannon exploded. The trapped artillerymen could not even scream and fell in all directions, completely charred..
“Pfft!”
Junior urgently fired water magic to prevent the explosion..
The fire was quickly extinguished, but several nearby cannons were damaged by the explosion or all their gunpowder was soaked in water, rendering them inoperable..
The burned soldiers groaned. Lucas, gritting his teeth, ordered:.
“Damn you guys... … Aim for the catapult! right now-!”
The artillerymen gritted their teeth and adjusted their aim. From the head of the goblins to the last catapult.
“Aiming is complete!”
“launch-!”
Bubbling bubbling-!
The cannonballs were fired all at once..
The shooting of the artillerymen, who can be said to be veterans of veterans among human soldiers, was accurate..
Their skilled crossfire during the last fourteen defensive battles instantly destroyed the goblin army's catapults..
However, the fire net that had been blocking the battle line was weakened, and the head of the goblin army pushed in as if they had been waiting..
“All artifacts mobilized! Don't skimp, use everything you can!”
The alchemists activated the artifact as instructed by Lucas..
Magical beams of light burned the enemy lines, flames spewed out and gusts of wind poured down..
Magical cannons spewed fire, and various magic devices made enemies float, bounce, or teleport them far back, fighting fiercely..
However, the goblin army pushed in..
Doo doo doo doo-!
The tank corps that had been waiting for a long time ran forward vigorously and took the lead..
“It's a tank!”
“stop it-!”
But there were not enough means to stop it..
Despite being hit by arrows, having their heads blown off by sniping, and being overturned by magic, the tank corps managed to reach the castle walls..
and,
Kwagwagwagwang!
The tank that hit the castle wall caused a huge explosion..
What was loaded on the tank was explosives. It was not a low-level explosive used by suicide bombers, but a high-quality explosive collected by the Goblin Army..
“crazy…….”
Lucas muttered as he looked down at the goblins crashing into the castle wall and exploding one after another..
Tank soldiers can be said to be the highest class of the goblin army, higher than cavalry..
He is a goblin who knows how to handle rough cattle and drive a chariot. It is a high-class type of soldier selected even within the race..
made it explode.
I throw it away without hesitation.
In return for throwing a huge amount of explosives onto the castle walls, the lives of high-ranking soldiers are burned along with them..
As a result,
“The castle wall……!”
shouted the skirmisher..
“Cracks are opening in the castle walls.-!”
The walls of Crossroads, where all of the empire's technology is concentrated, withstood most explosions..
There was a clear crack at the right end of the castle wall..
The problem was that the goblin army also noticed the crack, and the leader of the goblins had already broken through the fire net and reached the bottom of the castle wall..
Kirik! Kiririk!
A group of soldiers from the goblin army, whose number they were no longer able to count, all at once clung to the cracked wall on the right. and,
pop!
Bubbling bubbling-!
self-destructed.
The end of the wall on the right side, engulfed in flames, trembled greatly, and the end collapsed and fell..
Soldiers screamed and fell from the collapsed walls..
“I'm sick of it, really.……!”
Lucas gritted his teeth..
“How many of the entire army are suicide bombers?……?!”
“They come again-!”
“artilleryman! Restore the fire net! right now-!”
The cannon was aimed at the enemy camp again, and the restored fire net began to crush the goblins..
However, the defense line began to clearly crack. With the shaking castle walls…….
‘lord!’
Lucas chewed his lip and looked towards the gray fortress where Ash was conducting a solo operation..
‘I can't last much longer like this, come on.……!’
next operation.
The counterattack prepared by the human side must be executed.…….
‘lord……!’
The gray fortress where Ash was trapped along with the enemy commander was already covered with the corpses of goblin soldiers, and now there was no gray in sight and everything was green..
Clap! Cheolkeong!
The turrets covered in goblin blood and corpses were working desperately to kill the goblins..
《Kyahak, kyahaha-!》
Standing alone in front of the Gray Fortress, the Troll King continued to fight even though he was impaled by hundreds of goblins' spears and swords..
And, inside that fortress-
***
deeply-!
With a clear breaking sound.
Ash's dagger stuck in Kali-Alexandre's chest..
