I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 417
◈ 417. [STAGE 20] Ghost Fleet (2)
Most of the combat power of the ghost pirate army comes from ghost ships..
These cursed pirate ships, which can go anywhere as long as there is sea water, are equipped with both agile mobility and vicious destructive power..
In particular, the destructive power of the so-called spear attack, a charging tactic with the bow protected by ghosts and black magic, is unfathomable..
When more than a dozen ghost ships rush in at a terrifying speed and hit each other head on, any defense line will be pierced and collapsed..
Neither a warship on the sea nor a fortress on land can withstand.
Corps Commander Bernard Fokker's special skill [Stormy Sea] can make seawater rain from the sky..
By rushing the ghost ship onto the seawater like this, the enemy's defense line is destroyed..
Release ghost pirates and sea monsters into the collapsed gap and slaughter the enemies..
This is the basic tactic of the ghost pirate army..
……So, how to defeat this tactic??
The best option, of course, is to stop the ghost ship. Blocking their ships from afar so they can't even approach our defense line..
But blocking ghost ships like this isn't usually difficult..
The ghost ship itself is considered a very large monster, so it can break through shallow defense structures such as barricades and fences..
However, if you were to ask if it could be prevented with the human body, that would of course be impossible..
In the end, you need a castle wall to stop their advance..
So there were two main tactics I used against them in the game..
‘first. sacrificing forward bases.’
If you encounter them at an advance base, they will use a ghost ship to crush the walls of the base and then attempt close combat..
Here, step by step, eliminate their close combat troops and burn the ghost ships one by one..
Although most of the walls of the forward base were torn down and virtually ruined, this method was mainly used because it was better than the collapse of the walls of Crossroads..
However, the forward base is currently in a mess as it has not received proper compensation during the six months I have been away. It is too risky to fight a defensive battle here..
Also, the ghost pirates' destructive power in close combat is not low at all..
If we are hit from all sides by those who specialize in melee combat, the damage on this side will also increase like a snowball..
Therefore, we did not adopt the plan to greet them at the forward base..
‘second. Jump on their ships and kill them when they're on the march..’
It was an operation to select characters with characteristics such as flight or assault from among the allies and drop them on their ships..
If you board their ghost ship, a 'conquest war' situation occurs, and if you hold the rudder of the ship for a certain period of time, you can take control of the ghost ship..
Either make it crash into an enemy ship, or intentionally move it to rough terrain and run it aground... … It's a guerrilla tactic..
However, this method also has a lot of problems. First of all, the boat is no different from the belly of a bastard..
It's teeming with ghost pirates who enjoy close combat, and all kinds of marine monsters are waiting with their mouths open..
We need to deploy a small number of people to clear the deck and seize the keys... … It's already difficult just to say it.
Moreover, it is very difficult to escape after the ships run aground or crash into each other..
In the game, I usually throw in 3rd or 4th tier hero characters that have flying characteristics but don't use them often, or low level new characters, as if they were winning the lottery..
And in nine cases out of ten, you will either fail, or even if you succeed, you will most likely die along with the ship..
It was a long story, so in the end, what is the tactic I chose this time... … Simple.
‘A ghost ship can only move forward if there is sea water..’
Conversely,.
‘If we can just get rid of the sea water, they can't advance..’
So, this is the tactic I have prepared for the past week..
“It is the essence of drainage.!”
It is not a drain that carries water behind it, but a drain that removes stagnant water.!
What workers and soldiers worked hard to erect on the southern plains here were not fences, barricades, traps, or defensive tools... … It was a drainage facility..
When was it? Was this the first time you used a public bathhouse in this city?.
Lucas had something to say proudly:.
- Isn’t this the pride of the empire? As we have experienced many water shortages, we have become more interested in using water resources. It's the best in the whole world.
Lucas had something to brag about..
The empire had all the necessary technology to bring in and take out water..
Of course, if you can operate a bathhouse of that size, the drainage technology must also be excellent..
Thanks to this, it was possible to install sufficient, albeit temporary, drainage facilities in the southern plains during the construction period of about a week..
One of the drainage facilities even uses a teleport gate to create a device that instantly releases the sucked water into the black lake..
No matter how much the enemy commander uses a special skill like [Stormy Sea] to pour showers from the sky - through large-scale drainage facilities, all water is treated as sewage before it even accumulates on the floor..
‘It's not just this!’
I looked up at the sky.
On one side of the sky, sea water is pouring down with the effect of a [stormy sea], but the sun is shining brightly in the middle of the sky..
This is the effect of [Goddess Blessing] that I activated in this stage..
Goddess Blessing - 'Good sunshine day'’.
It's a literal effect. Today, the weather will be sunny without a single cloud during the day..
The sweltering sun of early autumn in the southern region beats down hotly all day long..
Not only does the effect of [Stormy Sea], which requires casting dark clouds, decrease, but the sunlight becomes hot enough to quickly evaporate water pooled on the bottom..
Is that all? Basically, strong sunlight is like a debuff for ghosts and ghosts..
There are few counters as good as sunny weather for these ghost pirates who attacked during the day rather than at night..
‘Here again! It's not just this!’
It's a series of lines that sound like live information introducing the secrets of a restaurant, but anyway, I'm not done preparing yet.!
“Hmm-!”
On top of the castle wall, Junior held out his staff forward with enthusiasm, and the young wizards followed her movements, drawing in magical power and raising the tips of their staffs..
Wow!!
Then a strong wind rose, blowing away the falling water droplets..
This camp is filled with wizards who can control wind and water properties..
It creates wind to evaporate raindrops, and despite this, raindrops that are pooled and trying to advance are retreated by controlling the water properties..
Even magically, the advance of ‘sea water’ is stopped..
The gust radiation artifact used in Stage 4 was also re-released after a long time and assisted with this work..
Drainage equipment, sunlight, attribute magic.
3Heavy filters were used to prevent seawater from entering, and as a result, no rainwater could reach the southern plains..
If there is no sea water on the bottom?
Kugung… … ! Kugu Palace!
The ghost ship cannot move forward..
Our rainy season measures were thorough, and in the end, all twelve spooky turquoise pirate ships had to stop in the southern plains..
And the ghost ship that stopped,
“Shoot! Sink them all from this land.!”
Quagwang! Kwagwagwagwagwang!
This is good prey for our crossfire.!
Our artillery fire exploded on the rotten and twisted hulls of the ghost ships..
I could clearly see the ghost pirates caught in the explosion screaming and dying..
“Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Don't spare and shoot! Until the gun barrel melts! Until all the ghosts achieve Buddhahood! shoot-!”
It may be unexpected, but there is an interesting story in the records of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty..
In the 17th year of King Seongjong's reign (1486), a rumor spread that the house of a man named Jeong Chang-son, who had retired from his position as Yeonguijeong, was possessed by a ghost..
Then the subjects reported to King Seongjong,,
- Please defeat this with artillery..
In order to catch a ghost with a strong negative energy, he made a brilliant proposal to fire a cannonball at the house of the former Yeonguijeong..
It was something that never happened because King Seongjong refused, but in any case, it can be said that cannons were used as one of the two guns to ward off ghosts during the Joseon Dynasty..
It was a long story, but in other words.
“A cannon is a quick fix for catching ghost bastards! This is a method that has been proven since the Joseon Dynasty.-!”
This is a very clever method, Zhien Tong.!
A flower of fire rose beautifully above the ghost ship that could not move. The ghost ships let out bizarre cries and took the barrage of firepower from this side..
If it had been an ordinary ship, it would have been destroyed a long time ago..
But they're cursed ghost ships.
Wow!!
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ghosts surrounding the ship fought to block the shells and oxidize them, and the sea monsters also used their huge tentacle legs and strong carapace to lessen the power of the explosion..
Even though we were hit by the crossfire that our Crossroads boasted several times, the ghost ships were holding on. I clicked my tongue in frustration..
“They're pretty sturdy, these guys.……!”
“lord.”
Then Lucas spoke to me carefully.
“I will report to you. It is said that the amount of water falling from the sky is greater than the amount of water handled by drainage facilities..”
“……!”
“We're getting it right now without a problem, but if things continue like this, eventually the drainage system will fill up and they'll advance again..”
I glanced at the gate that had opened with the effect of [Stormy Sea] in the sky..
This side is also using a teleport gate to drain the water out. It seems that the gate over there pumps more seawater..
One way or another, the game must be decided until the drainage system's capacity reaches its limit..
“In the end, it's Time Attack again.……!”
“lord.”
Lucas smiled vaguely at me as I ground my teeth..
“2How about executing a step operation a beat faster??”
“Hoo…….”
I winked at Lucas..
“I'm confident?”
“of course. Just give me an order.”
Lucas lightly struck the [granted sword] on his waist with his hand..
“It's the car I was itching for..”
“good…….”
I rubbed my hands together and grinned. and said.
“2Step operation, use 'Operation Dropship' one beat quickly!”

《Great ego! How long are you going to keep getting beaten up?!》
On the captain's ship of the ghost fleet.
The subordinate pirate shouted at the captain..
《You should at least return fire! Are you just going to get beaten up like a fool??!》
《…….》
Corps commander Bernard Fokker was blowing his bottle in silence..
Even though shells were falling everywhere and the ship was on fire and there was chaos, he just drank in silence. His pirate subordinate, whose costume was blown up, ripped out his head..
《If this continues, we will all die! Why are you staying still?!》
《Shut up and wait.》
Poker calmly swallowed his drink and looked up at the sea water pouring from the sky..
《The sea is infinite. No matter what they do, they will eventually make a way for us... … Wait for the right wave to come.》
《What are you waiting for? My stomach looks like it's about to explode.!》
At that time, another subordinate rolled over and shouted..
《Leader! Here's a report! Ships 1 and 12 have declared mutiny! I can't listen to the boss anymore.!》
《Those motherfuckers are like that all the time... … What if you don't listen to me??》
《He said he couldn't live without getting hit like this and that he was going to fire back with our side's cannons on the royal wall on King Inse's side.?》
《good night. Let's all see how well that response works..》
Geek……!
At the same time, the 1st and 12th ships, located at both ends of the fleet, slowly turned their ships..
Eventually, the two ghost ships turned the ship's direction 90 degrees, aligned the cannons on the sides of the ship, aimed them at the crossroads wall, and fired..
pop! Bubble bung-!
The cannonballs fired from the two ghost ships drew a parabola and flew into the walls of the Crossroads..
The two subordinate pirates, who were moving their heads along the parabola, shouted at the same time..
《Was it right?-?!》
