Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 444
◈ 444. [Side Story] All The Kings (4)
The Red Spider Queen's head was blown away by Damian's magic bullet..
Immediately after, the spiders stopped like a lie..
All the red spiders remaining throughout the area stopped moving at once. The kings, who were trembling with their heads covered, blinked their eyes at the sight of such spiders..
“what… … stopped?”
“what is happening?”
“By any chance, is it over?……?”
I smiled brightly as I approached those kings..
“Fortunately, our sniper was able to find the enemy queen before the situation got any worse... … I just removed it.”
“Well, then……?”
“yes. The immediate defensive battle is over..”
I looked under the walls for a moment. Even the kings hesitated and looked in that direction..
The corpses of the spiders were piled up in a hill. Even those who were still alive stood still and stopped moving..
Looking at this bizarre scene, I added.
“In a few weeks, new monsters will arrive..”
“It's coming again... … ? This scale?”
“That's right. There have been many times where this has happened... … Well, anyway, the situation is over for today. It's our victory.”
I turned and shouted at the soldiers..
“Full army! Thank you all for your hard work!”
chuck!
The soldiers all looked in my direction. I nodded heavily..
“The spider army is the monster army I encountered when I first came to this city. At that time, Crossroads had to lose thousands of troops..”
The scene from the tutorial stage is still vivid to my eyes..
That cruel and difficult battle, our soldiers dying.…….
I stretched out my hand and scanned the top of the castle wall..
“But today, there are no casualties on our side..”
And the spider army that was so terrible and powerful back then fell like a leaf in the autumn wind..
The red spiders were unable to overcome the castle wall, and our soldiers did not suffer any minor injuries..
“you have become stronger!”
I shouted loudly once more.
“We have become stronger! I'm proud of you, my warriors.!”
No doubt we have grown.
And it will grow further in the future.
I smiled brightly, clenched my fist and raised it..
“Let’s eat and drink comfortably today!”
Wow-!
The soldiers cheered in unison..
The walls of the Crossroads were filled with the roar of victory. It was as loud as the sound of artillery fire in my ears..
I turned away from the highly exalted soldiers, looked at the kings, and smiled secretly..
“I'm glad our front line doesn't show any embarrassment to our guests..”
The kings were still dumbfounded..
He witnessed the overwhelming force of monsters firsthand, was actually attacked right in front of his nose, and immediately turned it into a victory and showed the soldiers cheering..
It will be crazy. There will be a lot to think about.
I pointed to the stairs leading down the castle walls..
“Now, let's go down. Shouldn’t we stop talking about what we were talking about??”
***
Bring the kings safely back to the hotel.
While watching the front lines being cleaned up, Lucas asked carefully..
“…… There was no need to clash with the spiders, wasn't it just a matter of Damian sniping the Spider Queen from the beginning and finishing it off??”
“that's right.”
The queen's location was specified from the beginning. Damian was waiting to be shot. until I give the signal.
If you catch the boss, everyone stops moving, and the boss is a queen spider with weak combat power..
Although he is the type of person who commands from a safe and distant place, sniping from such a long distance is no problem for Damian..
I was able to finish the stage much easier in the first place. but.
“That's why it doesn't have a dramatic effect..”
needed to show.
For those who live safely in faraway places and do not realize this huge threat.
What kind of creature is a monster?.
How deep is their hatred for humans from the bottom of their souls?.
And what kind of fights have the people of the Monster Front here been and will continue to fight?.
‘If you ask me, you could call it a show..’
But it was a necessary show..
At that time, someone staggered towards me. I looked back at her and smiled..
“Good job, Violet.”
“……I finished everything you asked me to do..”
The leader of the recently recruited gambler party, ‘Gamble Club’, was the illusionist Violet. She reported faithfully, although her lips were sticking out..
“He deployed the illusion realm at the right time and showed the kings gathered here an illusion of a red spider running towards them... … This is it.?”
“good job. Everyone was fooled.”
Yes.
The attack of the red spider army was real, but the spiders that came toward the kings in the latter half of the battle were all illusions..
Our defense line is not weak enough to let the monster attack the VIP. It was all an extension of the show I planned and executed..
- These guys, how come they look like water balloons and not monsters! The taste of something refreshing is good.!
I felt sick to my stomach when Kuilan said this line..
That's because it wasn't a real monster, but an illusion created by Violet... … It's natural because it's designed to make this guy fall over every time he swings his fist..
“The threat of monsters is more impactful when you see it with your own eyes rather than hearing about it through rumors..”
I stood in front of the dead red spider on the castle wall..
“Rather than seeing it with your own eyes from afar, it is better to feel the threat of death right in front of you... … It touches me much more.”
The creepy spider monster was lying down with its mouth half open..
For no reason, I stretched out my foot and kicked that monster in the mouth..
“However, since we can't actually stick the VIPs' heads into the monster's maw, we used useful new recruits to give them an indirect experience like this..”
Most truth, a little bluff.
If you mix it in this ratio, you will have a situation where you have no choice but to be deceived..
And to this extent - it made me realize the seriousness of the monster's threat to the point of almost grabbing me by the collar and shaking me..
The kings will also be able to see the situation more clearly. It will be easier to talk from now on..
“Okay, now that I've scared you enough... … Should I cook it slowly??”
The current situation is such that I have to whip the whip first..
It was time to feed carrots to the distracted kings..
***
That night.
While the soldiers were having a victory banquet, I was having a dinner with the guests..
I thought some of the kings would run away, but surprisingly, not a single one left the place..
Is it because the name is the king that everyone is being naughty, or is it because I lose face if I run away from here?.
‘I don't know which one, but it worked out well..’
The banquet hall was gorgeous in its own way..
Even in this remote area of the countryside, Serenade shows off her skill and serves up a multi-course meal that is no different from that of the Imperial Capital..
But the kings' eyes were focused on me, not on the food. It's delicious, but I listen to it while eating it. It feels a bit awkward to be cutting meat by myself..
“Those who invaded today are only a small portion of the entire monster army..”
After slicing the steak elegantly according to the manners learned in the imperial capital, he put it in his mouth and chewed it. And then I continued speaking.
“And the monsters that attack each time are getting stronger. Both qualitatively and quantitatively.”
“There are more and more monsters like that.……?”
“Ultimately, there will be hundreds or thousands of times more monsters than today's spiders..”
Actually, it was like that in the game too..
3Towards the end of the year, the monsters' power inflation wears off and defensive battles become impossible..
Before Crossroads can no longer withstand and falls, we must attack their headquarters from here - the last dungeon inside the Lake Kingdom, 'Royal Castle'..
If you fail to conquer the castle and the last day of the third year comes,…….
“I can't handle it.”
Crossroads falls under a literal flood of monsters. The monster front collapses..
After that, it’s obvious even if you don’t look at it. The battle line here, which has been struggling to catch monsters, is collapsing, so there's no way the world above will be safe..
“Right now, we're doing well with just the troops here. But it will become increasingly difficult to handle. And if they finally break through the monster front here,…….”
I looked around at the kings and shrugged..
“Well, you know it well now that you saw it in person today. what will happen.”
Because it is a monster front, it can be blocked..
If such a monster front collapses.
When the monster army comes in like a wave from the south, other cities and countries have no choice but to be completely destroyed..
“We need your help. To put it bluntly, we need your full power, not just your help..”
I slowly revealed the purpose of gathering these kings here..
“I ask you to pack everything you have and fight together here on the monster front. Because if you don't, you and your people will all die..”
The kings' complexions turned pale..
The air was different from the previous day. If I hadn't come face to face with an actual monster, my words would have sounded like empty threats..
However, they witnessed the monster in person today. I was attacked right in front of my nose..
It's very easy to imagine that threat being posed to one's own people..
“My purpose is not a political dispute with Fernandez. It's about protecting this world..”
There is a real threat.
“And the world is something that all people in the world must protect together. That's why we need you to cooperate too..”
There is a cause and justification.
Okay, so what last thing do you need??
“And if you cooperate - if you also join the monster front here, we will be happy to provide you with the work you each desire..”
It's a carrot.
Even in the face of such a huge threat, people ultimately move with carrots. What can I do? If this is also natural, it would be natural..
This was probably the most awaited topic. The eyes of the kings sparkled..
I looked around at the four kings of different races - the most necessary and powerful force among the kings gathered here - and then quietly exhaled..
“First of all, eliminate discrimination between different races..”
“……!”
“We will abolish slavery that has lasted for a hundred years. We will remove restrictions on residence in autonomous districts and return your hometown to your hometown..”
The biggest reason why slavery between different races was introduced was to solidify humanity's position as the winner of the war and to systematically oppress different races..
And I was thinking of getting rid of this from the beginning.
Well, it is not because I have noble intentions or because I have lived in a democratic society..
This is the most effective card to attract these different races..
Above all, in front of monsters, distinctions such as race or status have no meaning..
“Monsters do not discriminate against people. Kill them fairly. People from the empire are not killed first, and people of a different race are not killed later..”
The monsters' purpose is simple..
Kills people. destroy the world.
Therefore, the purpose of the monster front here against him is also simple..
save people protect the world.
“The struggle of the monster front has no ideology. There is no nation, there is no tribe. We are here for the simple purpose of saving the people behind the walls..”
Sublime because it is simple.
We fight only for life. Others joining this front must also follow the banner I have set..
I wanted to make sure of this..
“The Monster Front should not be divided into infighting based on ideology, nation, or race. On the monster front, the only thing that takes priority is humans..”
We all have only one life, and we cannot discriminate in the price of that life..
In order to prevent people from using other races as meat shields and only saving humans, etc..
And in order to allow different races to participate in the war with peace of mind through this guarantee,.
Above all, monsters are powerful enemies that everyone in the world can defeat by fighting shoulder to shoulder..
We all must stand on equal footing. So I was thinking of restoring their status to what it was a hundred years ago..
“How is it?”
I asked with a curtsy..
“I think it's a pretty good suggestion..”
It's not okay.
How are you going to turn this down??
