Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 416
◈ 416. [STAGE 20] Ghost Fleet
The world situation was changing rapidly..
I shook my aching head as I received information through various channels, including Serenade, Princess Yoon, and Dusk Bringer..
Larc and his army are finished..
The emperor is trapped in the spirit world and cannot escape to reality..
The ecliptic and the empire were completely in the hands of Fernández..
What will happen to the world now??
How will Fernandes move??
……But here on the monster front, there was a bigger problem just around the corner..
An army of ghost pirates will rise from the black lake tomorrow..
And since the defense lines such as forward bases are not activated at all, they will advance to the Crossroads without any interference..
I can only hope that this 'equipment' that the people here have worked hard to prepare in front of the southern wall of the Crossroads over the past few days will work properly..
I was confident and confident, but I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I also prepared a plan B just in case..
***
Time passes, the night before the monsters attack.
I opened my inventory for the first time in a while and took out boxes that I hadn't used in a while..
1 golden SSR grade reward box, 3 purple SR grade reward boxes.
This is a reward obtained after defeating the Goblin God King. I'm opening this now.
There were more low-level boxes that the heroes had farmed while I was away, but I kept them and decided to open only these four high-level boxes today..
First, I held the golden box in my hand..
“…….”
I had a premonition of something..
I felt like I knew what was inside. So, instead of praying or looking for God as usual, I calmly opened the box..
flashing-!
After the dazzling light explodes, what is inside the box is…….
“This is it too.”
It was a familiar piece of flag..
[Great Commander's Banner Fragment] (4/5)
- One of the five pieces of character ‘Ash’s’ exclusive equipment [Great Commander’s Flag (EX)].
- Collect all five pieces to create one flag.
I knew it would be like this. I clicked my tongue as I held the piece of flag in my hand and fluttered it..
“There's only one left now.”
It would have been a shame if something different had come out..
I really want to put all the pieces together and make a finished product. I wonder how big of a flag it is that it costs five gold boxes..
After putting the flag fragment in my inventory, I opened the remaining three SR-grade boxes in turn..
Flash! Flash! flashing!
The first box rolled out an ordinary SR-grade magic core. It's not as good as the finished product, but it's still not bad..
The consumption of magic core has been extreme for a while, so I would be grateful if you could get out of here..
And what came out of the second and third boxes was…….
“……!”
A large mace shining with dazzling silver light..
And it was a large, thick rectangular shield..
I swallowed my sleep as I looked at the two heavy pieces of equipment..
“This……!”
[Mace Blessed by the Goddess (SR)]
[Great Shield Blessed by the Goddess (SR))]
Holly Goddess!
“It's a goddess blessing set.!”
This is equipment with the prefix ‘Blessed by the Goddess-’, and there is only one in every equipment group..
So, there is a long sword blessed by the goddess, there is a crossbow blessed by the goddess, and so on..
“Umm… … ! How do you get it to come out just right?!”
As equipment consecrated by the goddess herself, it is an excellent natural enemy against ghosts and undead monsters..
It can be said to be a very, very appropriate item for those of us who will soon have to deal with an army of ghost pirates..
Is it because it’s been a while since I’ve been in the box? I can't believe they came out with an appropriate item like this..
‘……So, it's a good thing that good equipment came out..’
I clenched my chin and pondered..
Who should I give this to? Who should I give it to so that it will be known as the best gift?…….
“……Mmm.”
After contemplating with my eyes closed, I slowly opened them..
As expected, the person who will give this to…….
“It's just him..”
***
next day.
south, black lake.
Bubbly…….
The surface of the pitch-black lake boiled violently.,
Kwagwagwagwang!
Soon the surface of the water burst into pieces - a huge warship jumped out..
The warship was in terrible shape..
Hideous deep-sea monsters clung to its entire rotten, dead body, and a grotesque skull symbol was drawn on its torn black sail..
There were white bones tied in chains hanging in eight directions diagonally and front, back, left, and right of the ship. Blue flames flickered within the empty skulls..
The left and right strings are filled with cannons. And bladed hooks for shooting and capturing enemy ships..
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……!
Kyaaaaa……!
The black ghosts surrounding the ship repeatedly let out terrible screams and gathered together and then dispersed..
Shoot ahhh……!
The warship straightened up, spouting black spray in all directions..
《Umm~!》
Clap. Cheolpuk.
From the bow of the warship, a large ghost dressed like an admiral walked out with seawater flowing from his entire body..
He was a ghost pirate, splashing sea water from his submerged boots every time he walked, dragging the hem of his fishy-smelling coat across the floor, and holding a bottle of alcohol near his mouth..
On his back is a huge sword and cannon, crossing each other in the shape of an X..
《Hmm!》
The ghost stretched out his arms, took a deep breath, clicked his tongue, and put the rum bottle back in his mouth..
《No matter when I smell the land, it smells like shit..》
Nightmare Corps Commander Rank 8th.
Commander of the Ghost Pirate Corps.
The Ghost Privateer Fleet Commander was Bernard Fokker..
Shoot! Shoot ahhh!
New ships appeared one after another to the left and right of his old ship..
They were all ghost ships that were horribly damaged and damaged..
All of the eerie blue-green ships were surrounded by ghosts, and hideous monsters such as giant crustaceans and octopuses clung to one side of the ships, their eyes glaring with murderous intent..
Damn it! Damn it! Jeopuk!
The previously empty deck was soon filled with ghosts..
In the hands of the dead were rusty knives, pistols, hooks and strings..
As if they were going to drive the ship right away and ram into the enemy ship, then jump across the rope and engage in hand-to-hand combat.…….
《…….》
Bernard Poker looked around at his crew and swallowed his bottle again..
Originally, the time of flooding would have come long ago and it would have been their turn to invade the land..
In the meantime, there was quite a bit of chaos in the heart of the Lake Kingdom..
Wouldn't Raven and Salome, the leaders of the Nightmare Legion, fall while fighting each other? Wouldn't dozens of monster legions be swept away by the plague that Raven spread before her death and suffer a terrible blow?…….
The chaotic situation had calmed down only recently, and when the time of flooding arrived, the King of Kings seemed to be benevolent and ordered Bernard Fokker to send out his troops..
- Let the wind blow. Move forward at full speed and destroy royalty..
《Sounds like a tailwind, sipal. Of the remaining guys, I'm the easiest, so they throw me away first..》
I could clearly see the red liquor flowing down the ghost captain's blue and transparent neck..
Originally, it was a ghostly body that could not eat or drink anything, but even a dead body could not quench its desire for alcohol..
He used his magic power to break down the alcohol and forcibly absorb it into his body. The ghost's body made of ectoplasm turned slightly red..
Bernard Poker threw the bottle of alcohol he had finished drinking to the side. The poker burped with the sound of glass shattering..
《It's always the sailor's job to take care of the time, you damn high-ranking bastards.…….》
Then, before he knew it, his subordinate ghosts gathered around Poker and started giggling and shouting..
《So, you're not going to rob me, Admiral??!》
《It's been a while since I stabbed and killed those who were still alive! It's an opportunity to take away everything you have.?!》
《Men too! Women too! Even old people! Even children! Those in between and others too! kill them all!》
《goldfinch! jewel! silks! cigarette! pepper! coffee! Let's take it all away!》
《And alcohol too!》
《beer! wine! brandy! rum! whiskey! Our captain knows nothing.!》
As he looked around at his subordinates who were singing along to the tune on the spot, Poker chuckled without realizing it..
Before and after the fall, they were the same idiots..
After looking around at his subordinates who had starfish on their heads, arrows stuck in them, no eyes, no lower chin, or no heads at all..
《……but.》
Poker hummed as he took out a new bottle and opened the bottle cap..
《The best of them is cheap moonshine made by my departed wife.~》
《Wow!》
《Our Admiral, your voice is sweet too.!》
《I think I'm going to fall in love with you, captain.!》
Poker shouted to his subordinates who were cheering with excitement..
《It's departure! Damn you bastards! Raise anchor and unfurl sails! face the wind-!》
Then he stretched out his hand forward.,
《It's storm time!》
Rumbling, rumbling……!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky,
Shoot aaaaaaa!
A terrible downpour began to pour down..
The sea opened in the sky. Somewhere in the vast southern ocean and the sky here are connected by magic..
Salt water fell like a waterfall. Swept sea fish fell, scattering their scales.
The ghost pirates danced in the rain. Poker stretched his hand forward again..
《let's go! Let’s plunder all the royalties.-!》
Huge ghost ships began to move forward, cutting through the pouring sea water..
The total number is twelve.
In the storm, twelve ghost ships ran across the land and headed north..
With the singing of the ghost pirates on the ship, and the hideous cries of the ghosts and sea monsters hanging on the ship..
***
The words of the King of Kings, who said that a fair wind would blow, were not false..
The ghost fleet moved at a much faster speed than usual, and the twelve ghost ships covered the distance that would normally take three days in one and a half days..
《Admiral! I can see it!》
The pirate who was observing the course with a telescope on the anchor shouted loudly..
《It's a castle wall of royalties.!》
《……!》
Bernard Fokker lifted his bleary eyes and looked ahead..
Indeed, it seemed unmistakable. A humble castle wall made of iron and brick.
《Are you saying that we couldn't even get over that weak castle wall, and that four Nightmare Corps commanders died here??》
A sneer appeared in Poker's mouth..
It was a mockery of the idiot commanders who died without being able to overcome this wall..
No spiders, no vampires, no werewolves, no goblins.
They almost destroyed the world at one point, but they just bluffed and ended up oxidizing here without being able to destroy the wall.?
《They're like sick idiots..》
I'll show you what a real strategy is.-
Poker snorted, promising himself..
《It's the same as always!》
Fokker fiercely shouted at his subordinates..
《It hits-!》
Wow!
The ghost pirates all cheered at his simple and intuitive command..
《There is no one who can withstand our fleet's salvo attack tactics. Same thing this time too!》
After approaching the enemy's fortress by riding a wave, it crashes into the ghost ship without slowing down..
Afterwards, engage in hand-to-hand combat, unleashing ghost pirates and sea monsters into the stomachs of the enemies..
People who believed in the walls and were proud will be embarrassed. The fact that ships can run on land.
And the fact that the ship's collision could cause the castle walls to collapse..
《let's go! Kill them all, take them all!》
《Wow~!》
《sing a song!》
《take away the treasure-!》
Twelve ghost ships spread out to the left and right, facing a heavy rain of sea water pouring from the sky..
The castle wall was now just around the corner. Fokker took out a cannon and a greatsword from his back and held one in each hand..
and shouted.
《everyone! hand-to-hand combat…….》
……I was going to say, ready..
Kwasik!
Kugwagwagwagwang!
Crackle, crackle, crackle.!
A terrible sound rang out and the ship vibrated loudly..
The ghost ships suddenly braked and stopped one by one. Ghost pirates screamed and rolled noisily across the deck..
Embarrassed, Poker barely managed to keep his balance and shouted..
《What's going on??!》
《ship, ship…….》
A pirate who was thrown overboard and managed to climb back up shouted..
《The ship has stopped, captain.!》
《what……?》
《I don't know! I can't go any further! So it stopped! article… … It's okay!》
《What kind of nonsense is that, this etc.…….》
Even before Poker finished his swearing..
“-Is the talent show over, you idiots??”
The human side commander spat out the curse that Fokker was trying to say - Ash waved his hand on the castle wall..
Grinning wickedly, with a smile on my face.
“Then it's our turn..”
Ash's hand jerked forward and.
“Full army! Launch aaaaa-!”
The cannons on the castle walls spewed out flames in unison in response to the shout..
Pubbung! Bubbling bubbling-!
The sight of dozens or hundreds of artillery shells raining down at once was reflected on Bernard Fokker's retinas..
The pirate captain slowly put the bottle to his mouth and muttered helplessly..
《……No, it's really fucked up..》
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
Immediately after, red-hot crossfire fell on the hulls of the ghost ships that had stopped in place..
