Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 377
◈ 377. [STAGE 15] Winter cicadas
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Gradually!
A shape resembling a dog collar appeared in the air and bound Kali-Alexandre's neck..
《…….》
The Goblin God King stared blankly at the chain around his neck..
[Goblin God King Kali-Alexandr (SSR) has been added to our army.!]
- current loyalty : 0(+0)/100
- Absolute Command: 1 time
[Even though it receives the effect of [Declaration of Imperial Decree], there is no additional loyalty correction. It looks like you have no desire to be my subordinate..
However, what I needed in the first place was 'absolute command authority' that could force the captured monster to give orders only once..
With this, I can say that my plan worked just by ordering the goblins currently attacking to be removed from the castle walls..
“Kali-Alexandr, I command you.!”
I shouted one after another.
“Withdraw your troops immediately.…….”
But I couldn't even finish giving the command..
deeply-!
Because it was faster for Kali-Alexandr to raise his scimitar and plunge it into his own chest..
“……what.”
Seeing the blood gushing out like a fountain from the front and back of the Goblin God King's chest and back, I was momentarily dazed..
《I refuse, Ash..》
Kali-Alexandre calmly spat out blood from inside the mask..
《Whatever your command, I refuse..》
I urgently took out a potion and ran to him. It was to somehow save it..
However, his sword accurately split his own spiritual core. It was an injury that couldn't be saved with potions..
Still, I shouted as I poured the potion into his chest..
“Holy shit! I command you again! your legion immediately…….”
《It's no use, Ash..》
Kali-Alexandre said calmly.
《Even if I follow that order, I will die before I can withdraw all of my legions. Then the war will resume again.》
“…….”
I gritted my teeth..
“why?”
《…….》
“You said you wanted to be born as a human. You also said you don't want to hurt people. But, why?”
If you had accepted my offer, we could have coexisted..
There could have been a future where goblins and humans lived in peace and as allies, with cultural exchange as you hoped..
《A goblin's life is miserable. A goblin's life is terrible..》
Kali-Alexandre, leaning against the wall, mumbled in a dying voice..
《Goblins have no poetry or lyrics, and there is nothing that can be called breeze or morality. They are a terrible race whose only desire is destruction..》
“…….”
《But I am their king.》
Blood was dripping from his crown attached to his helmet..
《My people worshiped me as a god and a king. Then I must lead them... … . We must allow them to live according to their nature, according to their instincts, and to find happiness..》
“A goblin's happiness is, after all... … Are you talking about invasion and slaughter??”
《Miserably and terribly, so it is..》
Kali-Alexandre coughed up another handful of blood..
《Maybe we can castrate that instinct and let it live... … By joining your alliance, you can force them to reform. But it is only my happiness as a king, not the happiness of my race..》
“…….”
《If an entire race lives in misery due to the will of the individual in power, how is it any different from living as a slave?.》
Through the mask, I could vaguely see him smiling at me..
《A leader must live not for himself, but for all people who follow him. So, Ash. After all, I am also a goblin. It's a fucking monster..》
A goblin who admires people,
《We cannot coexist. Sadly, that is the reality. My race can never live as humans. So, I will die like a monster..》
In the end, I chose life as a goblin, and I chose death as a goblin..
《If you want to survive. Kill me and my compatriots without leaving anything behind..》
“…….”
《Standing on the island of corpses floating in the river of blood, do not regret or reprimand. Go ahead. Move forward with the heart of an iron man. As a prince, don't look back…….》
His breathing became heavy. The enemy's death approaches..
《……Lastly, just one simple request. Will you listen??》
“say it.”
《After listening to you then, I also wrote poetry... … I tried building it.》
Carly-Alexandre, who was embarrassed, looked at me with eager eyes..
《Will you please listen to me??》
“…….”
[After assessing the current situation in the area using [Map Creation], I nodded after confirming that there was time left until Plan B was implemented..
Kali-Alexandre took a breath and slowly recited the verse..
waiting for the summer sun
After seven years and seven nights,
I raised my head through the frozen ground
It's a white winter night
It's a world born wrong
Even if I scream to reach the stars
Just an empty echo comes back
After finishing the recitation in a hollow voice, Kali-Alexandr bowed her head..
《It's a shame it's so crude.》
“……no. wonderful poetry.”
His poem, in which he compared himself to a cicada born in winter, was crude but honest..
It's hard to believe that this is the first poem I wrote, but it wasn't that bad..
“If you hadn't become a war commander, you might have become a famous poet on the continent..”
《haha… … . don't tease me too much…….》
Kali-Alexandr burst out laughing and muttered sadly..
《But, yeah… … . I once dreamed of a life like that…….》
“…….”
《If we had met Ash in a different place and in a different form. I might have had a slightly different relationship with you... … I don't know, I guess…….》
I did not comfort him over his death.
However, I watched until the end as he took his last breath..
“Goodbye, Kali-Alexandr. This time, I hope you go to rest.”
《……Could you please call me Alexandre? If I had friends, I wouldn't want to hear big names like Kali..》
“……Goodbye, Alexander.”
As he took his last breath, I whispered to him with respect..
“Have a nice trip.”
As if in response, Alexandre muttered quietly..
《Blessings to you who go a long way... … . No matter what ending you reach, I hope you have no regrets…….》
The Goblin God King was no longer breathing..
He is dead.
As I approached, I took off Aleksandr's helmet. The goblin's face, hidden behind a mask, was covered with scars carved over many years..
The nose was cut off, one eye was crushed with a sword wound, and one cheek had a hole in it, scarring as if it had been pierced by an arrow..
It was the face of a warrior.
After looking down at him sleeping peacefully from a distance, I took only my helmet and turned around..
Plan A - The forced withdrawal of the goblin army using the enemy commander has now failed. We need to activate plan B.
‘You end up taking a much more difficult path.…….’
Plan B is a straight method..
The goal is to physically annihilate the goblin army using all the means available..
And of course, in this case, we had planned our tactics in advance..
I turned on [Map Creation], which still had time remaining, and opened the stage information window to count the number of remaining enemies..
Not long after the battle began, the lives of over 5,000 goblins had evaporated..
However, the goblin camp was close to the Crossroads..
I moved the walls of the gray fortress at will and climbed to the top floor of the fortress. I could see the surroundings clearly..
Kwasik! Quad Deuk!
Most of the turrets surrounding the Gray Fortress were damaged, and those that were still moving were collapsing from the goblins' onslaught..
‘It'll be hard to hold out for long.’
This time I looked towards the Crossroads wall..
bang! Quaguagwang!
Flames were spreading across the walls of Crossroads, and one wall had suffered serious damage and was collapsing..
The goblins who were close to the castle wall were starting to attack the city and climbing up the wall..
These damn guys were able to climb the castle wall without a ladder, probably because they were light..
‘The castle walls have had enough of them..’
Did you become impatient as the target of attack got closer?.
The entire goblin army was leaning forward..
They've passed the gray fortress where I'm standing, and it looks like most of the legions are stuck right in front of the Crossroads walls..
It's time to start plan B.
I took out a blue flame torch from my inventory and waved it upwards..
On the wall, I saw my men waving their flags loudly as they recognized my signal..
At the same time,
Kugu Palace-
The east and west gates of Crossroads began to open..
In this defense battle, I activated the ‘one-way street’ option with [Gaddis Blessing]. The monster army only attacks from the southern direction..
In other words, the advance of troops through the eastern and western gates is unhindered.!
‘From ancient times to modern times, what are the basics and standards of tactics??’
I said it before, it's an anvil and hammer..
A tactic in which the defense unit (anvil) receives and withstands the enemy's attack, and the highly mobile attack unit (hammer) returns to the enemy's rear and strikes..
Then, in this current war situation, our army's anvil and hammer are?
The castle wall that withstood the onslaught of the goblin army was an anvil..
And while the goblin army is chained to the walls, my hero parties can hit their rear and flanks - the hammer..
Shut up! Shut up! Compact!
Heroic parties on horseback rushed out through the open east and west gates..
They made a wide detour around the battlefield and began to gather towards the gray fortress where I was. I unclenched my fists..
Plan B is a simple plan in some ways..
While the walls hold, a guerrilla party made up of heroic parties destroy them from the flanks and rear..
If we annihilate them before the walls are breached, we will win..
If the wall is breached before they are annihilated, the monster will win..
‘The situation is different from the guerrilla era..’
At that time, there was no wide and strong anvil called a castle wall. It was like hitting empty space with a hammer..
But now, the best anvil called the monster front is lined up on my body to hit the goblins..
The power of this hammer also increases several times.……!
I cleared the Gray Fortress until the hero parties reached it. It's time to demolish it..
Four of my captured monsters were seriously injured, but none were dead. I roughly sprinkled the potion and put it all back into the subspace..
Kwasik! Kurrrrr…….
The last automatic defense turret has collapsed.,
Kirik! Kiriririk-!
The moment a group of goblins invade the Gray Fortress.
“lord!”
Riding like a flying horse, Lucas arrived first..
The blade of light it sprayed tore apart a dozen goblins at once. Afterwards, hero parties gathered one after another..
Lucas Party. Punishment unit. Dragon Blood Knights. Holy Grail Exploration Team. And 50 selected skilled soldiers for each party. Everyone is on horseback..
The Holy Grail Exploration Team was organized together, even though their injuries were not completely healed, but they expressed their strong intention to participate..
So two hundred twenty and one person.
Even if they are surrounded by goblins, they are experts in close combat who can easily kill them and escape..
They were organized into the Hammer Unit for this battle..
“Get in, my lord..”
“hmm.”
Standing on the horse Lucas brought.
I lifted the [Imperial Declaration].
Wow!-!
The gray fortress covered in goblin blood and corpses disappeared like a lie..
‘Wow!’
I felt like vomiting for a moment, probably because I was holding down the fort for too long, but I held it in desperately..
I handed the Goblin God King's helmet I was holding to Lucas..
“Please, Lucas..”
“Yes, my lord..”
Accept the Goblin God King's helmet, which combines a mask and a crown..
Lucas held it high and spat out Lion's Roar in a loud voice..
“your leader is dead-!”
The goblins who heard Lucas' voice looked at us in confusion and then got scared..
Lucas put his helmet on the tip of the sword of light and raised it high in the sky. So that you can see the pitch from afar.
“Your god and king lost his life at the hands of our commander.!”
Panic quickly spreads among the goblin army..
“And you too will meet the same end.!”
I let out a sigh while glaring at the back line of people who were starting to panic in fear and confusion..
“They lost their heads. Don't leave a single one behind, clean it up cleanly.!”
“yes-!”
“let's go! Hey!”
As I started to run on my horse, other heroes immediately followed me and drove their horses around me as if to protect me..
Shut up! Shut up! Compactly!
The heroes stood in a wedge-shaped formation. I took my place in the center, and the regular soldiers lined up behind me..
So we run like a javelin-
Quaguagwang-!
Jumped into the waves of goblins.
