Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 379
◈ 379. [STAGE 15] Collapse (2)
Rumble…….
Kuwagwanggwang!
The right wall began to collapse.
Split iron plates fell like hail, and the crushed walls poured down, creating dust. There was a thick cloud of dust over the area..
kirick!
Kikiki kick!
The goblins watching this scene from below cheered..
It was a result of generously sacrificing the lives of many of his colleagues. Finally, we broke down this high barrier where humans were hiding like rats..
You can see the red blood of the humans hiding behind it.……!
When the shaking and collapse stopped, the goblins could no longer hold back and rushed into the gap in the collapsed castle wall..
The desire for destruction and murderous impulses that had reached their limits were dominating their brains..
And, in the thick rising dust-
A huge cavalry spear popped out..
deeply-!
Pow! Wow!!
A cavalry spear burst through the dust and immediately pierced the goblins' bodies..
Then the large shield flew in and shattered the goblins' bones..
As the frightened goblins hesitated and retreated, the appearance of human shield warriors nestled in a cloud of dust was revealed..
Among them, Evangeline, who was at the forefront, took a step forward and gave a command..
“Nothing changes!”
Behind the five heroes holding shields, hundreds of soldiers also holding shields appeared..
“We become the walls! We are here to stop the monsters!”
It was Evangeline's party that rushed down as soon as the castle wall collapsed, and the soldiers in charge of close combat..
Evangeline shouted as she stood firm in the gap between the collapsed castle walls..
“As long as we hold out, our other allies will destroy the monsters! therefore…….”
Wow.
Evangeline growled softly, clutching the handle of the cavalry spear with all her might..
“Let's fight!”
Kiririk!
Kyaaaaa-!
Thousands of goblins began to pour out, screaming towards the narrow gap..
Evangeline and the heroes under her command also shouted and rushed forward with their shields in front..
Evangeline truly believed it. They said that if they could hold out, their comrades on the wall and outside the wall would eliminate all the remaining goblins..
That's why, without hesitation, I came down to this place where monsters are endlessly approaching..
But Evangeline didn't know.
How long will this battle last?.
And how terrible it will be.
***
There is a game genre called Mussangryu..
It is an action game genre in which a user-controlled character sweeps the battlefield with excitement, defeating weak enemies who fall easily and winning the war..
The pleasure of defeating weak enemies is the main pleasure of this type of game..
However, even in these games, there is a common point where most users feel fatigued..
1cloth.
Even in action games like this where you can defeat enemies in a refreshing and stress-free manner, the user feels fatigued when the number of enemies defeated exceeds 1,000..
Therefore, most stages are set up so that you can win with a kill count around 1,000..
If it's like this in a game where you don't fight directly and only manipulate virtual characters, what would it be like in real life?.
Even if they are heroes of Ikkitousen. Even if the opponent is a weak goblin-
1After defeating hundreds, let alone thousands, of enemies, you are bound to get tired..
Both body and mind. It becomes tattered..
“Huh! Heo Eok!”
How much time has passed since the battle began?.
The raiders' rush had long since stopped. We lost our mobility and found ourselves in the middle of a goblin army..
When we saw the castle wall collapse, we all became anxious. So we did not slow down our attack..
But there were a lot more goblins than I thought..
The rush of our hero party quickly resulted in thousands of deaths. But there's still a lot more left.
Their depths were deep, and the more we dug, the more they filled in..
In the end, the recoil that sped up too much came back..
The heroes, who gave all their strength from the beginning of the battle, quickly became tired and were eventually stopped in the middle of the goblin army..
“…….”
When I raised my head and looked around, I saw the red eyes of the goblins surrounding us..
How tempting of prey is cavalry that has lost its charging ability?.
But none of us ever talked about retreating.
Everyone just grabs their weapons with tired hands and glares at the monsters with venomous eyes..
The goblins in the middle and back rows are what our raiders are most interested in..
If we retreat, these guys will join the goblins that preceded them and jump into the collapsed walls..
This will further increase the burden on the wall defense team..
It will be difficult to hold out since the walls have already collapsed.…….
‘Here we have to draw their attention to the limit and reduce their numbers..’
No one said anything, but it was clear that everyone was thinking the same thing..
So even though each person was exhausted, they fought bravely.…….
“Whoo, whoo, whoa!”
Kuilan groaned as he shook his fists, which were covered in green blood..
Due to the inherent limitations of a fighter who has to stay close to the enemy, he had to tangle with goblins and suffered minor injuries all over his body..
“Sheesh, the arrow…….”
Verdandi threw the empty quiver on the floor and held a dagger in each hand..
All consumables such as arrows and throwing daggers have run out..
Now the Holy Grail Exploration Team had to fight on their own, but since they were injured from the beginning, they wouldn't be able to fight for long..
“Things like these bugs……!”
Dusk Bringer growled, gritting his sharp teeth..
As a pitiful dragon, second only to poor fuel efficiency, Dusk Bringer's output dropped noticeably as the battle entered a long period of time..
During the battle, we spewed out our dragon breath several times and burned them as a group, but because of that, the decline in output came even faster..
Fortunately, the knights under his command are maintaining their condition, as if they are used to this kind of fierce struggle.…….
“after.”
Finally, Lucas.
[Even after [Full Body Advent] ended, Lucas was still going wild. The kill count alone far exceeded 1,000..
It was a great performance worthy of the main character, going beyond just one horse and close to being a millionaire..
However, no matter how much you are the main character - you cannot fight infinitely..
Although he was trying not to show it, it was easy for me to notice that his stamina and magical energy were greatly depleted..
‘If the battle had proceeded as originally planned... … Would it have been okay if that were the case??’
Originally, the leprosy extermination unit and shadow unit should have been organized together in the attack unit..
If that were the case, defense units and fire units would have been added one by one, so the completeness of this raid would have been much improved..
A more flexible and efficient battle would have been possible now..
But, there is no.
The leprosy extermination team received severe injuries during the rescue operation of the shadow unit and were taken to the temple. The shadow unit was killed and injured and the party disintegrated as a whole..
‘Where did I start making mistakes??’
In the meantime, I am reviewing the moves I made..
It may have been a battle that could have been fought much more efficiently and with less damage. However, I made a wrong decision…….
“They are coming-!”
At that time, goblins started pouring in from all directions..
As our movements become noticeably sluggish, it looks like we're getting ready to hunt and finally we're pushing in..
No matter how many heroes who are good at close combat are brought, if they continue to be attacked like this in the midst of them, the damage will inevitably increase..
So, I muttered through gritted teeth..
“……declare.”
I unfurled the folded flag in my hand. Lucas, who was standing over there, shouted in horror..
“My lord, no……!”
But the flagpole in my hand was already digging into the ground..
“This land is the territory of the empire.-!”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
[[Imperial Proclamation] has been issued..
Kugugugugung Palace!
The magic power pouring out of my body built a gray castle wall. In no time, our raid was protected by a gray magic fortress..
Now, much more efficient combat will be possible.…….
“Cough.”
……My face turned bright red.
Tinnitus rings in my ears and I feel like my insides are burning. Blood dripped from her nose and mouth..
Was it a bit excessive? I can't believe I use this technique twice a day..
The heroes and soldiers around me saw me like that and rushed to me. But I gritted my teeth and screamed.
“fight-!”
“……!”
“I'm fine, go and fight!”
I am not a perfect player.
My undertaking is full of blemishes. There are sure to be a lot of tricks I missed and breakthroughs I missed..
But looking back and regretting it is not something to do now..
One by one, reduce the number of enemies..
If they are monsters that can only be stopped when every last one of them is annihilated, then this one has no choice but to be defeated one by one, no matter the speed..
moving forward.
somehow, moving forward.
“fight-!”
Gritting their teeth, the heroes and soldiers stood at the edge of the magical fortress. Monsters poured down like a waterfall from all directions..
I took a deep breath and opened the stage information window..
Still, thanks to our attack team and the fire team on the castle wall constantly killing goblins, the number of goblins remaining is now a little over 10,000..
If the castle wall defenses somehow hold up, we will be able to calmly reduce the remaining ones.…….
It was then.
Quagwang! Kuwagwanggwang-!
“……!”
There was a terrible explosion and I looked in that direction..
My eyes caught the sight of a group of goblin suicide bombers pouring towards the friendly defense team blocking the gap in the collapsed castle wall..
To the left and right of the walls that had already collapsed, additional walls were collapsing.…….
***
‘what?’
Buried in the rubble, Evangeline blinked blankly..
My whole body ached as if I had been beaten..
Evangeline, coughing harshly, was eventually able to remember why she had become like this..
‘Damn you suicide bombers…….’
The fireteam on the castle wall had the highest priority on eliminating the suicide bombers on the ground..
In the end, a group of suicide bombers succeeded in reaching the defense team and exploded magnificently..
Not only heroes with shields, but also ordinary soldiers were involved..
Evangeline, who was caught in the explosion from the front, was also thrown a long way away..
‘Where are the limbs that fell? … There is no.’
There were bruises, but all limbs were moving. Even though it was my body, it had amazing defense power..
Evangeline jerked up. But soon after, her legs gave out and she fell to her knees on the floor..
‘Ugh!’
The damage had accumulated to a level that even its amazing defense could not handle..
Evangeline gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up with her spear on the floor..
‘Move, move... … Tell me to move!’
Dead soldiers caught in the explosion were scattered everywhere..
Her fellow heroes who had held shields with her just a little while ago and were on the front line fending off goblins.
Evangeline closed her sore eyes tightly to calm them down and glared straight ahead..
‘If the front line is broken, more goblins will push in... … The country needs to be blocked too!’
It was as she expected. The sound of countless footsteps of goblins approached through the thick cloud of dust..
Evangeline grabbed her spear and shield and prepared for desperate resistance..
At that time, someone grabbed Evangeline by the shoulder..
When Evangeline looked around in horror, she saw that it was an old soldier of the Twilight Legion who led the soldiers of the defense team..
“miss! You're safe.!”
“ah… … ! The unit commander is also safe.!”
“Rather, this is not the time! We must retreat! We can no longer stop our enemies here.!”
The old soldier pointed left and right in turn..
“Additional walls on the left and right have collapsed! This is no longer a gap that can be blocked by defense forces.!”
“then…….”
“I ordered the defense line to fall back! The monsters attack humans nearby, so we must protect the fireteam on the walls.!”
“…….”
“You too, step back! Come on!”
Evangeline looked around at the corpse of her ally, gritted her teeth and bit herself. The old soldier retreated together, shouting hoarsely..
“Retreat! To the walls, retreat.-!”
The surviving members of the military unit camped at the entrance to the stairs leading up to the castle wall, their bloodied bodies in tow..
Evangeline, standing at the forefront, glared at the group of goblins with haggard eyes..
kirick!
Kiriririk!
Screaming, goblins poured in through the cracks in the collapsed castle walls..
About half of them came towards the steps of the castle wall where Evangeline and the soldiers were..
But the other half was digging into the crossroads..
Evangeline gritted her teeth as she glared at the monsters pushing towards the city..
“……All citizens of Crossroads have been evacuated.?”
Under Ash's orders, all civilians had evacuated to the northern city..
And the rest of the soldiers, alchemists, etc. were gathered at the castle wall..
It would be terrible to see the dirty feet of those monsters trample on Crossroads, but since it is an empty city, there will be no damage.…….
“……Temple.”
However, Evangeline's face hardened at the veteran's reply..
“In the temple… … There are priests and wounded soldiers.……!”
