Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 38
◈ 038. [STAGE 2] There is no business due to volume (3)
Hostile NPC.
These characters are literally hostile to the player..
These bastards invade the stage and prey on players, and are largely divided into two categories..
first. Type that participates directly in battle.
Like playable characters, enemies appear with skills, ultimate abilities, and characteristics..
Usually these guys are all named so they are so strong..
second. A type that indirectly harasses the player.
Although they do not directly participate in battle, they harass the player with their special abilities..
There are people who control the weather, spread curses, and all kinds of other things..
‘That kid is the second type.’
I gritted my teeth, glaring at the cone-hatted bard standing on the distant horizon..
‘Give orders to monsters with a flute.’
Yeah, I've met him a few times during the game..
But I was never this annoyed during the game, so I didn't remember it right away..
NPC from the Lake Kingdom.
A bard who has no direct combat ability, but can give orders to monsters with a flute..
Users call it ‘The Pied Piper’’.
Except for a few special legions, most monsters have extremely simple behavior patterns..
They just run to kill the nearest human being..
But things change when the Pied Piper appears..
Monsters will attack the target designated by the Pied Piper first..
“Damian! Hurry and shoot that guy!”
“…….”
“damian!”
Damian was unable to move while aiming his crossbow..
And the Pied Piper took the flute in his arms, then turned around and disappeared as if his business was over..
“Sorry, sorry. Prince.”
Damian slowly lowered his crossbow and lowered his head..
“but… … To me, shooting people, even if they are enemies, is…….”
“…….”
I lightly tapped Damian on the shoulder..
“Let's talk more later.”
In the first place, Damian is a healer. She is a young child whose main job is to save people, not kill them..
While fighting here on the monster front, you may have killed monsters, but you've never fought a human..
‘But there are many humans among the enemies..’
In the future, we will have no choice but to fight against humans as well..
If this problem is not overcome, Damian's combat power will eventually be cut in half..
I turned my head and shouted at the soldiers.
“artilleryman! Archers! What are you doing! Concentrate your firepower in the center! Destroy everything!”
“yes!”
The aim of cannons and ballistae was moved to the center of the castle walls. Soon the cannons and ballista began raining shells and arrows..
pop! Bubble bung!
patter……!
a massacre occurred.
In the smoke and rain of arrows, the rats died in an instant..
But even for a moment.
Kirik! Kiriririk!
The rats began to steadily advance, hiding among the corpses of their comrades..
The mountain-like wall of corpses was actually becoming a barricade blocking our attacks..
“They're continuing to attack the walls! The castle walls are being damaged.!”
I tried to remain calm despite Lucas' urgent shouts..
“don't worry. Just kill everyone while the castle wall holds up..”
No matter how hastily it was repaired, no matter how flawed it was, it is still a fortress wall. Not easily pierced.
“Does the fortress built by the empire look like an X, you X-sized rats??”
I turned around and shouted.
“Jupiter! It's work! sticking out!”
“I knew that would happen and I was preparing..”
Pacchik, Pacchichik…….
Jupiter, who was already standing behind me and preparing a spell, raised his hand. I stretched my hands forward and shouted.
“Fry it all up-!”
Jupiter extended his hand forward in the same motion as me..
Rumbling…….
Before I knew it, light was scattered from the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky.,
flashing-!
Dozens of lightning bolts hit the ground..
Kuwagwanggwang!
The lightning struck and turned all the rats gathered around into ashes. It was an incredibly powerful force..
But it shouldn't end here. I shouted to Lily, who was taking care of the artifact..
“Lily! Preparing the Flamethrower Artifact!”
“How many should I use??”
“Of course everything! at maximum output!”
I pointed to the mountain of corpses of rats piled up like a mountain..
“Burn it to the ground!”
“Flamethrower Artifact! Activates!”
As per Lily's instructions, the alchemists activated the artifact..
In just a few seconds,
Grumbling!
A blazing flame spewed out from the artifact installed at the edge of the castle wall..
The flames reduced the corpses of the rats and even the rats that were hiding in the ditch to ashes..
A battlefield blazing with lightning and flames.
Everyone gasped and looked at that place. I said emphatically.
“Okay. It's worth stopping.”
I was a little embarrassed when they started damaging the castle walls..
Just think about it simply. They're gathered in one spot and being guided..
“Just focus your crossfire on the point where they are concentrated! No need to worry!”
All you have to do is turn the area in front of this wall into a kill zone..
We need to get it fixed before their second wave arrives. That was the moment I was about to give that command..
ring!
system notification sound.
It pounded ominously in my ears..
Although I really didn't feel like it, I looked at the system window that appeared in front of me..
[Enemy Information - STAGE 2]
- Lv.30 Ratman Champion: 3 bodies
- Lv.5 Giant Rat: 1574 (Kill Counts) : 1677)
The names of boss entities that had always been marked as ??? have been revealed..
Ratman Champion.
It is the highest-ranking rat man and is characterized by extremely strong tenacity..
And now that this name has been revealed…….
Kiyaaaaaak-!
It means they appeared on the battlefield..
Leading the second wave of street rats behind, three level 30 ratman champions appeared, waddling their heavy bodies..
It looks almost the same as the rat man I encountered in the dungeon..
However, it feels like it is twice as big. It's almost the size of an elephant..
‘Normally, they're just meat shields..’
It is an ordinary blood pig monster with no other difficult gimmicks that you can kill one by one by concentrating your firepower..
But the situation now is?
In the current situation where all monsters are trying to break through one point of the castle wall,-
thud!
The rat man champion at the front kicked the ground..
And then it ran on all four legs and started rushing toward the castle wall at a speed that made it hard to believe it came from that huge body..
“Block it.”
thud! thud! thud!
I shouted as I saw the guy getting closer in an instant..
“Why are you just staring blankly?! Block it-!”
Only then did the soldiers come to their senses and fire cannons and ballistae..
pop! Pubububung! patter……!
However, the Ratman Champion, despite being bombarded with arrows and explosions, did not flinch and rushed right up to the castle wall..
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo-!
As soon as it came within range, the automatic defense turret reacted and fired bullets like a shotgun..
puck! bub bub buk!
The sound of the magic bullet piercing the leather was terrifying..
Kieeeeek!
The Ratman Champion, who was in a panic, got twisted and fell right in front of the castle wall..
The heavy body rolled on the floor several times, raising a cloud of dust, and then stopped..
A moment of relief flashed across everyone's faces. But it was never a time for relief. I screamed one after another..
“More coming! get ready-!”
Two Ratman Champions.
And the remaining 1,500 rats began to flock at once..
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
Doo doo doo doo-!
the earth trembles.
I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it..
A group of rats rushing to one point was no more than a gray wave..
It was almost like a tsunami..
“You must kill the Ratman Champion first.!”
I aimed my index finger at the second ratman champion who came ahead..
“Shoot! Don't spare everything!”
Shells and arrows were fired all at once..
However, the rats that were running around were hit instead and fell to protect the rat man champion..
Clap! Cheolkeong!
The automatic defense turret, which had used up all its ammo, began to reload..
I ground my teeth. He's already a very stubborn guy, but he couldn't do anything like this.……!
“Jupiter!”
“I know!”
Jupiter cast a second spell.
“Lily, activate the magic amplifier artifact! The target is Jupiter!”
1I even turned on the throwaway damage artifact and magic power amplifier. A subtle buff aura hovered over Jupiter’s body..
“Just tell me, you bastards.”
With blue light shining from his only eye, Jupiter stretched out his hand..
Dark clouds gathered, and dozens of lightning bolts rained down. A thunderbolt struck the leader of the rushing pack of rats..
Kuwagwanggwang-!
The power is unrivaled.
The area struck by lightning was completely charred..
However, there are too many rats.
The thunderbolts were dispersed because of the gutter rats who were competing with each other, and the rat man champions were hit by magic, but they still held on and ran forward..
“shit! Was it not enough?!”
Jupiter clicked his tongue..
In the first place, Jupiter was a wide area wizard. In such a melee situation, it is difficult to hit a single object accurately..
So, I can't help it..
“Lily! flamethrower!”
“yes? The flamethrower artifact is still on cooldown.…….”
“Then, instead of an artifact, you breathe some fire.!”
I grabbed Lily's wheelchair and dragged her to the edge of the castle wall. Lily was in tears, but calmly gathered her magic power..
“I knew it would happen like this... … clothes!”
A large fireball shot out from Lily's fingertips..
Bubble bung……!
The fireball exploded right at their leader..
The entire body of the rat man champion in front was scorched black. But the guy kept trying to run like that..
deeply!
An arrow got stuck in that guy's left eye..
It was a crossbow arrow fired by Damian. The arrow that pierced his eye stirred his brain like bread dough..
kieek…….
thud!
The second Ratman champion also fell..
But the third Ratman champion running right behind him was alive and well..
The guy easily jumped over his comrade's corpse and ran forward..
Now it's only a few steps before he reaches the castle wall.
“Wow-!”
sreung!
Lucas pulled out a long sword from his waist and threw it..
The long sword flew around and stuck between the ratman champion's neck and shoulder. Blood splattered out.
But it's not enough to kill.
At the moment of imminent fire, I shouted out the name of our sniper..
“Damian! hurry-!”
Clap!
Damian slowly but surely loaded the next arrow and lifted his crossbow.,
Push shot-!
shot.
The arrow flew in a perfectly neat trajectory.,
Puuk!
It pierced the right eye of the Ratman champion who was about to reach the castle wall..
“done! I did it-”
I was delighted without even realizing it..
But no. It was my mistake.
Kieeeeek!
Even though he was mortally wounded, the ratman champion pushed forward with all his might and rushed forward with all his might..
The fault created earlier by the first faction of the Rat Army.
I split the iron plate and threw my heavy body into the place where the stone was dug out..
Kuwagwanggwang-!
crashed.
The top of the castle walls shook greatly. All the soldiers screamed and held on to the walls..
“majesty!”
Lucas caught me as I was about to fall..
Barely holding on, I looked down at the castle walls..
Towards the bottom of the castle wall where the dust cloud was thick, gutter rat monsters were pouring in like sewage being sucked into a drain..
I gritted my teeth..
I had a hunch.
The castle wall was breached.
