Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 442

◈ 442. [Side Story] All The Kings (2)

“Father…….”

Kelly Bay's youngest son walked out of the banquet hall - Dwarf King Kellyson had a very drunk look on his face..

His face looked exactly like my father's, with a bushy beard and two beaky eyes, but there was a crucial difference..

Flutter, Flutter.

It was abundant.

Head.

Kelly Thorn sighed, brushing back her wavy golden curls. A broken liquor bottle was glinting menacingly in his hand..

“They called me a traitor... … However, I don't know what exactly means.?”

“uh?”

Kelly Bay, hiding behind Verdandi, stuttered..

“That's not what you're doing now.?”

“‘‘Violating what should be done’. That's the reason for immorality.”

Kelly Thorn growled fiercely..

“He abandoned his family and ran away because he didn't want to take the throne, and only after a few decades did he come back and bring me here without any explanation... … He did not do what he was supposed to do, both as a royal grandson and as a father..”

Kellyson shook the broken liquor bottle in his hand menacingly..

“I think the real immorality was done by my father.?”

“Ah, I understand, so let’s put that down and talk! huh?”

“My dream was to buy a small, cozy cave, and dig down until I couldn't sell any more... … It was a simple life like that of a dwarf..”

Kelly Thorn gritted his teeth and approached Kelly Bay..

“In the end, everyone was forced to take on the position of king that they didn't want to take on, so they flew away forever... … My dream is big breasts ruined by my uncle!”

“Well, I'm making it happen instead! Instead, I'm digging a hole.!”

“The son should make his father's dream come true! Why are you doing this in reverse?!”

Kelly Thorn held up his flowing hair and held it up..

“I have been a king since I was about thirteen! I was forced to get married! There are already four kids! Even your hair is falling out because of the stress of being on the throne! You can’t see that my forehead has gotten wider.?!”

“Are you saying this in front of me??!”

Kelly Bay let out a squeak and stuck out his shiny bald head..

“And if you think about it, did I give you the throne?! Everyone was throwing bombs because they didn't want to do it, and you, the youngest, didn't have the strength to do it, so you were forced to take it on! Don't just criticize me, criticize other relatives and your brothers and sisters too.!”

“Already figured it out! Instead of flattering me, all my other relatives gave me a hard slap.!”

“……Oh, that was it.……?”

“Now it's just flattering, but the big breasts remain! So, just one! Just let me hit you once!”

“Anyway, how can you beat your father? … No, you shibboleth! hey! They told me to put it in!”

The dwarf father and son ran around the banquet hall, shouting at each other..

Fairy Queen Skuld, who was looking at this ugly sight, clicked her tongue..

“It's really nice to see this, such a mean-spirited punch to one's own existence... … The dwarves haven't changed even after a long time..”

“No, who is this??”

Only then did Kelly Thorn, who discovered Skuld, adjust his crown and grin..

“Our little queen is pretending to be a queen even though she lives in an autonomous district.?”

“Someone called someone a kid! You damn pudgy bastard!”

A tendon immediately appeared on Skuld's forehead..

“Hey, Dwarf King! I lived several times longer than you. Be careful what you say, okay??!”

Then Kellyson clicked his tongue..

“Please listen. I am now forty-six.”

“By the way?”

“Dwarves live to be 500 years old. therefore… … Let's consider it by human standards. Since humans live to be 100 years old, that means I'm roughly 10 years old as a human.?”

“……By the way?”

“How old do elves live??”

“If you don't die in an accident, you will live forever... … Usually, people die without being able to live forever. The longest-living elf in literature was 10,000 years old?……?”

“Then, based on age of 10,000 years. You are about 300 years old now.?

“uh…….”

“Then he's about three years old in human years.?”

“……uh?”

“In human terms, I'm ten years old, but you're three. This makes you younger than me.?”

“No, what kind of bullshit is that?……!”

Schooled's face became blank in front of the logic of miracles..

Those who watched were in a cold sweat as these people, who were in name only the kings of a race, fought in such a childish way..

It was then.

“King Poseidon XIII, the king of the mermaid people, enters.!”

Mermaid King Poseidon XIII entered the banquet hall..

Soaking the body in a portable bathtub.

It had been a few weeks since I left Crossroads and I was back. The reason, of course, was to officially visit Crossroads this time and hold a meeting..

Unlike his previous appearance (?), the Mermaid King's appearance in proper attire was gorgeous..

Her entire body was decorated with pearls, shells, and jewels, and the bathtub she soaked in was also decorated with various jewels. On top of her water-colored hair was a crown made of pearls..

Schooled was taken aback by his appearance..

“King Poseidon XIII... … ?! Didn't all the mermaid people go to another continent??”

“Could I abandon my hometown so easily? … He says.”

Serenade interpreted sign language next to the Mermaid King..

Then Kellyson stroked his beard and asked,.

“King Poseidon is 13 years old... … ? So that means he's thirteen years old?”

“……?”

“Nice to meet you. His name is Kellison, the dwarf king, and he is forty-six years old. Since he's thirteen, you could say I'm a little older.?”

Then King Poseidon, who had only been using sign language, put away his sign language and opened his mouth..

“I'm so damn tired. There are so many kids trying to match this amount of money... … Hey, you guys know how old I am.?”

“……He says it is truly a pleasure to meet you like this..”

Serenade next to me was sweating profusely and translated(?), but no one heard it..

It was about the time when the three kings of different races calmed down after bickering with each other about their ages. Skuld let out a long breath and looked around..

“So, three of the four races that inherited the blessings of the great ancient gods gathered together... … I can't see the last race. Is there anyone among the beastmen??”

“The beast people have no one they can call a king. Even during the tribal war, we fought as a tribal alliance..”

“How about we start a meeting among ourselves without having to wait? … says King Poseidon..”

It was then.

thud!

The door to the banquet hall opened violently, and a man with great physique came in..

Long braided red hair, and an X-shaped scar on her forehead. Silver leather cloak on the back.

There was no crown, but instead he appeared with various symbols of the beastman tribes tied to his forearm - it was Kuilan..

“Oh, am I a little late? I was really in a hurry..”

Kuilan looked at the waiting kings of other races and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment..

“It is called Kuilan. I am from the Danpungrang tribe, and this time I gathered all the other beastman tribes together and beat them to death. So, from today onwards, you can call me the Beast King..”

He appeared out of nowhere and introduced himself as the Beast King, but the other three kings immediately agreed to his words..

There was a reason why what he tied to his arm was the representative symbol of each beast tribe, but it was also because he felt it intuitively before that..

The fighting spirit emanating from Kuilan's entire body.

The beast people are a race that reveres martial arts. The strongest represents the tribe..

The man in front of me was clearly radiating the power of a strong man. Therefore, he was fully qualified to be the Beast King..

Kellyson approached Kuilan and immediately asked:.

“How old are you??”

“yes?”

Kuilan, who was embarrassed, folded his fingers and frowned..

“uh… … How old was I? I'm not even 30 yet.”

“Then, since I am 46, I am your brother. Call me brother.”

“Oh, really? older brother!”

“Wow, this guy is cool.!”

Kellyson, who liked Kuilan, laughed and patted Kuilan on the back, then handed him a cold drink on the table next to him..

“Well, anyway, it's been difficult for everyone to get together, so let's talk comfortably.!”

So the four kings began to talk loudly..

Only then did Kelly Bay, Verdandi, and Serenade, free from the pressure, hide in a corner of the banquet hall and take a breather..

“10Feeling a bit older, shibbulal…….”

“I feel like 100 years old…….”

“……I can't grow old like you two. Please take a look.”

The three of us looked around the inside of the banquet hall while each drinking drinks prepared in the banquet hall..

The four kings of this race were the ones who received the most attention, but many other kings and leaders came from all over..

The leaders of the surrounding small countries and city-states who had supported Crossroads during the previous war with the goblins continued to enter..

And even if they had not participated in the war at that time, those who were interested in Ash's invitation were also coming from far away..

“I see a lot of great people. On the border, there are only leaders who have made a name for themselves.…….”

“joy. That's right, they are just beggars who were driven out to the surrounding area because there was no way to penetrate the center of the continent that the empire consumed. What on earth is Ash going to do with all this chaff?…….”

“……Please lower your voice. I'd like to hear it from others.”

The three looked at the kings faces and had a long conversation..

It was then.

“I don't know if everyone is having fun drinking it..”

Step by step. Step by step.

With a clear sound of shoes, the organizer of this meeting appeared..

Black hair, black eyes.

A young man dressed in a suit that looks neat and comfortable.

The 3rd prince of the Everblack Empire - Ash 'Bornhater' Everblack.

He didn't wear any special jewelry or a crown, which was common in this place, but behind the back of the leisurely smiling young man, he looked as good as any other king... … No, there seemed to be a flash of even greater glory..

At the appearance of Ash, many people at the banquet hall swallowed their dry saliva..

Skuld opened his fan and covered his nose, lost in thought..

‘It's different again from last time.’

Immediately after the war with the goblins, Ash was in great danger..

But now it seemed extremely stable. If back then it looked like a tree branch swaying in the wind, now should we say it looks like a giant tree deeply rooted in the earth?.

‘At that time, I felt like a boy who would crumble at any moment, but now…….’

……I felt such charisma that it wouldn't be awkward to sit at any head table..

Is it innate because it comes from royal blood??

or not…….

“This is Ash 'Bonhater' Everblack, the lord of Crossroads who invited you here. Thank you for going the distance.”

Ash, who looked politely, smiled softly..

“It will still take a few more days for everyone invited to gather, so we will wait a little longer before holding a full-scale meeting. Until then, I hope you can take your time..”

From the beginning, everyone knew this would happen and had left plenty of room in their schedules before visiting..

It would be even more damaging if the gathering of this many leaders were to be destroyed in a day or two..

“Take your time…….”

But the dwarf king, Kelly Thorn, seemed to have other ideas..

“I don't think that's the case right now, Everblack's 3rd prince..”

Ash slightly bowed his head towards Kelly Thorne who stepped forward..

“Speak, Dwarf King Kelison..”

“The world is falling apart. It's not a metaphor, it's actually a situation like that.”

widely-

Since arriving here, I put down the glass of alcohol I always had in my hand. Kelly Thorn continued..

“After the decisive battle for the throne, the imperial capital was locked, and logistics and industry around the world came to a halt. Meanwhile, all kinds of ugly rumors are floating around the world..”

“what kind of rumor is this?”

“harbinger of destruction.”

Kellyson shrugged..

“In fact, the destruction of the world is a topic that celebrities always talk about. Although I am a young dwarf, only forty-six years old, there is a lot of noise about the end of the world being spread almost once every five years..”

There were always ugly rumors.

Whenever a plague broke out, a famine broke out, or a war broke out, people became anxious. But the world did not end.

That was until now..

“But this time is different. All of you gathered here must have felt that ominous feeling, so you came running here..”

In this world where civilization was built through magic, intuition is sometimes more accurate than any other standard of judgment..

And everyone in the world felt it.

Something - something absurdly large and ominous is about to happen..

The princes here all had this intuition..

That is why, instead of the 2nd prince of the imperial capital who locked himself in the door, he responded to the call of the 3rd prince who gathered people even from this remote southern region..

“What brought us together in this place? If it's something we're going to talk about anyway, let's make it clear in advance..”

Ash grinned at Kelly Thorn's question.,

Without hesitation - I breathed it out coolly..

“We have brought you here for one reason… … lend me your life.”

Kellyson frowned..

“In a war with Fernandez? Are you planning on taking the throne??”

“until after that.”

Ash was feisty..

“The one who rules over monsters - until the final battle with the Demon King..”

“therefore… … Please lend a hand not only in the fight to take the center of the world, but also in the fight to defeat monsters in this remote southern region.?”

“That's right.”

Kelly Thorn clicked his tongue..

“why should we do that?”

“Otherwise, we'll all die anyway..”

Ash was smiling..

But the eyes of the young man who drew a soft line were extremely cold..

“First, let me be clear. this is not a suggestion.”

Ash looked around at not only Kellithorn, but all the other kings gathered here..

“It's a threat, folks..”

“……!”

“Your own life, and the lives of all those over whom you govern. If you want to protect it, cooperate with me..”

Immediately after, Ash smiled mischievously and shrugged his shoulders..

“Or we all die together.”
