Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 421
◈ 421. [STAGE 20] Fighting pirates
Heroes aboard the airship Geronimo chase down two pirate ships that escaped..
Without sparing any effort, he annihilated the enemies at maximum speed and power..
After landing on the first pirate ship and taking control of the ship, he chased after the other fleeing pirate ship and rammed it from the bow..
The two pirate ships stopped impaled on each other and later became prey to this side..
As soon as I returned to the Crossroads area after completing the chase and annihilation, what I saw was the pirate captain's ship jumping towards the Crossroads wall with its last strength..
There was no time to hesitate. Lucas shouted..
“Hit me from the side!”
Geronimo's pilot - Elise, the head maid of the Wintersilver Merchants, faithfully carried out the order..
giiiiing!
click!
Her hand shifted the engine into full gear and simultaneously pressed the red ignition button to activate the rear thruster booster..
Going to school-!
The airship flew at maximum speed and struck the side of the pirate ship that was about to reach the walls of Crossroads..
Wood clatter-
Quaguagwang!
The pirate ship, which was already in tatters, was completely destroyed in the air..
It became fragments and rained down in all directions..
Lucas sighed in relief as he looked at the scene..
“Great job, Elise..”
“……It was nice to be able to hit it cool too..”
Elise narrowed her eyes and looked at the aircraft's dashboard..
“I think it was a bit of an unreasonable move..”
“yes?”
“Output is decreasing. If it continues like this, it will fall.”
It's not that it wasn't, the altitude of the airship was falling all at once..
The heroes inside screamed at the rapid descent. In particular, Kuilan, who is afraid of heights, shed tears and snot, and fainted while biting into crab foam..
cried Elise, grabbing the stick and trying to find the controls..
“We'll make an emergency landing! hold on tight!”
The airship Geronimo spun around and dived to the bottom..
Meanwhile, Elise adjusted her route into the forest to cushion the impact of the fall as much as possible, while trying to land as softly as possible on the wide surface of the aircraft's floor..
Kugugugugung Palace……!
The aircraft, which was shaking wildly, crash-landed in the forest southwest of Crossroads, raising thick dust..
After the shock subsided, Lucas brushed away his messy bangs and looked inside the airship..
“Everyone is okay... … Ah, I can see it. Fortunately, the.”
It was a terrible scene where not only Kuilan but most of the heroes fainted. lucas said this.
I did such a reckless thing, but somehow I didn't die. Everyone will tolerate fainting for a moment, your hair getting tangled, and your stomach feeling a little unwell..
“Even though that’s the case with us… … Is Crossroads okay??”
Elise unfastened her cockpit belt and stood up, looking towards the Crossroads..
“Could it be that the battle just ended?…….”
“Even if there are enemies left, it'll be okay..”
All ghost ships have been destroyed.
There's probably only one enemy left now…….
And Lucas, who had already told Ash about the enemy's specifications, smiled softly..
“Because the people of Crossroads are strong..”
***
patter……!
Ghost ship debris rains down from the sky along with the sea water..
It was a fragment of the last ghost ship and captain's ship, the Flying Dutchman..
‘With this, all twelve ghost ships were destroyed..’
I internally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, really..
The Ghost Pirate Legion was a much more powerful army if it had been fought using traditional methods..
If they had not been able to stop their rush through the seawater drain operation, they would have suffered enormous damage..
‘It may sound like self-praise when I say it myself, but I caught it easily because I stopped the advance by blocking the sea water..’
Because the close-quarters combat tactic of bow ramming was so powerful, they had no alternative tactics to use if this was blocked..
As they stopped and could not move forward, the pirates started a self-destructive rebellion, gnawing at their own flesh before being completely wiped out..
‘Even the fake castle wall installed as a safety device was attacked and collapsed.…….’
Still, it can be said that it was successfully prevented at this level. I crossed my arms and nodded hmmm..
It was then.
crackling!
Someone fell from the sky and landed on the castle wall. I glared at him with the feeling that something was coming..
《…….》
Ghost Pirate Corps Commander, Ghost Privateer Captain Bernard Forker.
This boss monster, dressed like a modern admiral, stepped onto our castle walls alone..
On top of his drenched coat, he wore the shredded sail of his ship like a cape..
On his back is a huge cannon and a great sword..
Why do I need long words? I waved my hand..
“Preparing to meet the commander-in-chief.”
The regular soldiers rushed to the bottom of the castle wall to take refuge, and only the hero characters remained on top of the wall, surrounding the enemy general in a circle..
《after.》
The pirate let out a short sigh and slowly straightened his back..
《You may not believe it, but I usually have good manners when it comes to gambling..》
He slowly took out the cannon in his left hand and the great sword in his right..
《They say that if you lose, you calmly shake off the loss. I'm used to being a mess..》
Under the ghost pirate's hat dripping with sea water, two eyes with turquoise flames glared at us..
《But I'm sorry. Today is a little… … Looks like I'll have to make a fuss.》
“There's nothing to be sorry about.”
I took out the staff [Maestro] from my pocket and responded by raising a blade of magic..
“Because we're past the point where we can talk like that to each other..”
The ghost pirate laughed at my words..
Master of the Storm, Tentacle Man, Wraith of the Deep, Mr. Wildhunt…….
The captain of the ghost fleet and the last monster left alone after losing them all..
Bernard Fokker let out a loud roar..
《Anyway, this world is a gambling place! Let's roll around together, human.-!》
The next moment, it shot straight at me..
He must have felt that I was the commander of the human side..
The vicious-sized cannon in his left hand was aimed at my head, and the great sword in his right hand was tilted back as if it was intended to cut me down at once if I came within the gap..
But I didn't avoid his path.
Because there was no need for that..
-chuck.
On behalf of Lucas, who went on an assault mission aboard an aircraft carrier after the start of this battle. The hero character who was guarding my side-
Thorkell, leader of the leprosy squad, stood before me..
A huge rectangular shield was firmly held on his left arm, which was covered with a helmet, and a large mace was held in his right hand..
[Great Shield Blessed by the Goddess] and [Mace Blessed by the Goddess].
Equipment that came out of the box before this battle started. This was paid to Thorkel..
The equipment consecrated by the goddess herself emitted a dazzling light from both his hands..
Thorkel seemed to be feeling a bit of a burden, flinching every time the equipment emitted a dazzling light..
“……No matter how I look at it, I don't think it's the equipment for me to handle, Your Majesty..”
“This is not the time to talk about such things, Thorkell! Look ahead! come!”
Nightmare commanders are rushing in front of your eyes..
Thorkel let out a low groan and adjusted his gear. I lightly waved my cane [Maestro] on his shoulder. match!
[Received low level buff!]
[A '10% increase in defense for 3 minutes' buff is applied to Thorkel (SR).!]
It's been a while since I've had the corporal punishment buff.!
Thorkell flinched when I hit him with the staff, but immediately afterward, he must have felt the effect of the buff, and his shoulders felt stronger..
“I'll stop it……!”
“OK! good!”
Taat-!
Thorkell leapt forward. Fokker, who was rushing this way, fired the cannon with his left hand..
pop-!
Magic bullets overflowing with turquoise magic shot out from the cannon..
The magic cannonball hit Thorkel's shield directly.,
Kwagwagwagwang!
Immediately afterward, a thick smoke broke out..
One moment there is silence, the next moment.
Hwaak-!
Through the smoke and with his dazzling shield in front, Thorkell marched forward confidently..
Thorkell's skill set is all-in on defense increase and stamina regeneration skills, and the trait [Leprosy] also has an advantage as a tanking trait. In a word, it is a super pure tanker..
Here, the equipment presented this time, the Goddess Blessing Set, has additional effects against ghosts and undead monsters..
[In the case of [Great Shield Blessed by the Goddess], the damage inflicted by ghosts and undead monsters is greatly reduced..
Moreover, there is a defense buff that I applied through Maestro..
‘Even if the Nightmare Commander is your opponent, if you have this level of tank performance and this level of skill,…….’
It can withstand enough attacks.!
pop! Bubbling bubbling!
Fokker continued to fire shells from the cannon, but Thorkel held his ground and bravely advanced towards Fokker..
Meanwhile I called the heroes.
“Junior, body bag, burnout!”
The three people who were waiting immediately lined up behind me. I nodded..
“Me and Thorkell. This is a temporary party of 5..”
These 5 people are the core of this boss raid.
The party leader is away, but heroes such as the Punishment Unit, Holy Grail Expedition, and Dragon Blood Knights are also waiting..
“let's go!”
I shouted as I swung [Maestro] and applied buffs to all the heroes I could see..
“It's time to fight pirates!”
***
The Ghost Pirate Corps is a corps that focuses most of its power on the twelve ghost fleets..
It is not much different from the general military. Just as the Marines who lost their warships, the tankers who lost their tanks, and the Air Force who lost their fighter planes are greatly weakened..
At the point when these ghost ships are lost, the remaining members of the corps are only slightly stronger or similar in strength to ordinary monsters..
This also applies to corps commander Bernard Fokker..
The Fokker on the ghost ship is a powerful corps commander that makes you swear, but the guy who got off the ship isn't that much of a threat..
Surrounded by dozens of heroes on our side, any attack he attempts is thoroughly marked by Thorkel..
Poker became more and more on the defensive, and after allowing a few concentrated attacks, he quickly became tattered..
Doo doo doo doo!
Burnout fired his dual crossbows..
In the meantime, I used a special installation-type crossbow, but it seems that during the half year I was away, the alchemy workshop and blacksmith collaborated to create new equipment..
Easily portable and usable in a variety of situations.
The bolts that came out exploded and sprayed sparks in all directions..
At first, he blocked the poker with his great sword or with the sail he wore like a cape on his back, but at some point it became unbearable and he avoided it..
and,
flashing-!
Kugu Palace!
thunderbolt.
《Pfft?!》
This is the worst attribute magic for this pirate whose entire body is always wet with sea water..
“Haaaaa!”
Although his complexion was pale due to exertion all day, Junior summoned lightning again..
flashing-
Kugwagwagwagwang!
A thunderbolt, not far behind Jupiter's, exploded on Fokker's body. Poker gritted his teeth and held on, but the damage was significant..
Doo doo doo doo!
Flash! flashing-!
Explosive bolts rained down in succession, and lightning struck. Fokker dodged the attack by repeatedly rolling his body on the narrow castle wall..
……Meanwhile, his eyes are looking for opportunity.
One shot to turn this situation around.
However, at the point where all the ghost ships have already been lost,.
He didn't have any money left..
Suddenly!
Poker's limbs that were rolling on the floor suddenly stopped..
《?!》
What captured him was the body bag..
After receiving the 'Magic Amplifier', an artifact that temporarily amplifies the power of magic, he exerted his telekinetic power at its maximum output and succeeded in capturing the nightmare corps commander in an instant..
And that moment was enough.
Doo doo doo doo!
Flash! flashing-!
《Wow……!》
Burnout's explosive bolt and Junior's thunderbolt swept through the body of the ghost pirate commander..
《Not yet! yet-!》
Even after allowing that much attack, I haven't given up on poker yet..
Shaking off his telekinesis, he took a step back and-
-Clap.
There, the muzzle of the automatic defense turret that I had summoned in advance was aimed..
“Surely this world is a gambling place... … It's hard to be a good gambler when you only know how to go all-in.”
I smiled and raised my index finger at him and pretended to shoot it while making a bang sound..
“You're just a crazy gambler, poker player..”
《…….》
“checkmate.”
The next moment, the barrage of magic bullets fired by my turret pierced his body..
