Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 449
◈ 449. [Side Story] Symbol (2)
I couldn't get a single one..
Other colleagues also submitted only the designs that they liked. The absurd point was that everyone was so elated..
Finally, this evening.
I sighed and announced..
“The winner is… … does not exist.”
Wooooow!
There was immediate booing..
“It's a riot!”
“It is an abuse of permanent residence authority.!”
“Actually, it's because I don't want to give bonuses.?!”
“No, you should have come up with something decent! You bastards!”
As I shouted, the heroes held up their drawing papers and held them out..
“Ash! What's wrong with our elves' rich tree branch design?!”
“Your elf flag is already a piece of grass! You plant lovers! They overlap!”
“Captain, what is lacking in this picture I drew with all my heart??”
“Since your fists are so big, you look like a gang of violent fighters, you fighting artist.!”
“Why was this beautiful oil painting painted by Gwain rejected??”
“The fire-breathing dragon is the symbol of the Bringer Principality! What changes just by changing the color??!”
I pushed back the screaming heroes and sighed again..
“Okay, okay. Taking your sincerity into consideration, we will select a popularity award. Let’s also give the winning prize to the Popularity Award winner. Now, let's each cast one vote for the picture that seems most suitable to our battle line..”
“After all, what does the lord know??”
“If there is a majority vote, of course my work will be first place.!”
“If everyone had eyes to see, they would pick mine.?!”
As a result, the heroes voted on their respective flag designs..
The winner is…….
“……Damian's work 'Hamster Podong' is the winner..”
Damien's painting won with overwhelming support, exceeding 50% of the votes..
Damien came forward holding a picture of his hamster with an emotional face and expressed his emotions while slightly crying..
“thank you… … ! I will give this honor to Podong.!”
“congratulations! Can I go see Podong??”
“sure! You can see it when you come to the temple..”
“When this is over, let's all go see it together.!”
In particular, the elves were cackling and making an uproar. Do you feel a sense of kinship among rodents who are equally obsessed with nuts?.
“cute.”
“It's cute though.”
“It's nothing compared to the grandeur of my flag, but... … That much is acceptable.”
Everyone is nodding their heads as they look at Damian's flag design..
“……Do you guys seriously like this??”
I clutched my forehead in pain..
Are you all serious? It's okay if a hamster becomes a symbol of our monster front.……?!
“My lord! I think the only symbol of our front line is the lord.!”
“me too! So, you can't even use this as a mural.?!”
“thanks… … It doesn't help at all…….”
Even the knight duo who appealed with their own picture (my face) were pushed away until the end..
“Everyone get out! Go to the temple and play with Podong, you bastards.!”
“No, it's dinnertime. Let's give him food and kick him out, boss.!”
“okay! Then just eat and leave!”
I paid Damien his prize money, fed him well until dinner, and then kicked him out of my mansion..
***
“Oh my gosh, it’s hard.…….”
Grumbling, I sat down at the desk in my office..
Well, there was at least half of the intention for a design contest. Rather, it was more a gathering to relieve everyone's tension before a big battle..
The days ahead will be harsh battles. It's better to let everyone laugh and relax when we have the chance..
‘Even so... … I was trying to get some useful design hints.…….’
I collected everything for brainstorming, but how can I not come up with a single useful idea?.
‘That's enough of the flag, let's just use a box..’
Before the big battle, I was planning on putting down all the boxes I had collected..
- Pirate's Random Reward Box: 10
- SR grade reward box: 3
10 pirate reward boxes obtained during Stage 20. And three SR grade boxes as stage 21 rewards..
‘I'm afraid they're pirates, so I'm even playing around with the reward box..’
Pirate's Random Reward Box, as the name suggests, rewards come out randomly..
Grades N to SSR are determined randomly, and the item table for rewards is set a little differently from existing boxes..
If you are lucky, you may get rare items that can be obtained from existing reward boxes..
……Of course, that's just what I'm saying, and it's usually an N-rated explosion ending..
So I hate it, but what can I do? I have no choice but to open it and hope for the slightest possibility..
‘First off, just three SR grade boxes..’
Reward box received after defeating the red spider army.
flashing!
I opened it coolly. Is there anything good??!
[Rewards]
- Standard top-class magic core (SR): 3
“……I hit a flat hit..”
If it's an SR grade magic core, there's no harm in it. It's not as good as the finished product, but.
I roughly threw it into my inventory and lined up the 10 pirate boxes from the main game in front of me..
“Still, if you have a conscience, one of them will be a big hit.?!”
I opened 10 at the same time while shouting..
“Did you realize it??!”
flashing!
Light bursts out, and soon what lies before me is…….
“…….”
It was a mountain of junk..
Miscellaneous item… … It's just full of trash. I picked up the items with my fingertips, feeling helpless..
Cheap rum, shoes with holes, broken keys... … oh my god.
“Hey, that's it. What can you expect from pirates?…….”
I was muttering and throwing them into the inventory one by one, like I was sorting out trash, but I saw something strange..
sparkle.
“huh?”
I saw a dirty ring lying among the miscellaneous things..
I hastily picked it up. no way!
[Kraken's Ring (SSR))]
“Long live the great octopus god-!”
Without realizing it, I let out a pagan shout and threw my arms up..
No, I don't know if the Kraken is an octopus or a squid, but whatever.!
The Kraken Ring, a notorious item that does not appear in the item drop table of Ghost Pirate Corps Commander Bernard Poker, has appeared.!
The effect is very simple. Summons a Kraken and lets you control it.
Although the cooldown is only 3 stages, it has the disadvantage of being horribly long, but what is this! They let you use a boss-level summon for free once every three stages.!
[Rewards]
- Kraken's Ring (SSR))
- 9 other types
This is how I dispose of all the boxes that have accumulated so far..
I was in a daze for a moment, soaked in the unique feeling of languid despondency that comes right after boxing..
‘……wait for a sec.’
Come to think of it, there was one other box left.?
I lifted my head and looked around..
Then, I saw a small box neatly placed on one side of the desk in the office..
This time, it was the box Alberto brought with him after escaping from the imperial capital..
What did they say that it was an item given to them by the ‘Windward Women’, a private organization established by Ash in the past?.
- I don't know either. Nothing but a ‘gift from the past’…….
“…….”
I frowned, thinking back on Alberto’s words..
a gift from the past.
in other words… … Something that my past self left in his private organization and sent to my present self..
For some reason, I was a little scared. The Ash of the past is facing me, not me. So I was putting off opening it..
It can't be avoided any longer. I carefully picked up the box..
“after.”
I took a breath and opened it..
sweet.
Inside the open box... … There was a short handwritten letter and an old piece of cloth..
I first lifted up the handwritten letter. The letter was simple, only a few lines long, but the scribbled first sentence caught my eye first..
- Fighting for the world, it sucks?
“…….”
I was convinced as soon as I read the sentence.
The bastard who wrote this is definitely Ash from the past..
- It was a series of Xs from the beginning, right? Continuously, endlessly, it was hard as fuck.?
“Are you kidding me, you bastard?…….”
I gritted my teeth in frustration and read the next sentence..
- Still, you came this far..
“…….”
- What can I do? We've already come this far. Suffer a little more until the end.
Ridicule, pity, and... … Written with a hint of affection.
- Cheer up, me.
With that said, the letter ended..
“……no sense bastard.”
I looked at the letter in bewilderment, then folded it again and threw it in the box..
I had other items in the box… … I picked up an old piece of cloth..
which,
[Great Commander's Banner Fragment] (5/5)
- One of the five pieces of character ‘Ash’s’ exclusive equipment [Great Commander’s Flag (EX)].
- Collect all five pieces to create one flag.
It was the final puzzle piece that my past self had arranged..
“…….”
Fifth.
The final piece of the flag has finally arrived in my hands..
I took out the flag pieces I had collected one by one from my inventory and unfolded them. And put the five pieces together.
flashing-!
A pure white light flashed, and the five pieces of flags merged into one..
[Great Commander's Banner (EX)]
- The flag of a man who fought as the world's last player for countless unrecorded hours..
- The performance of the flag is determined by your accomplishments during your journey to collect it..
- May you find glory and hope in the battles ahead..
- Welcome Back, Commander.
flutter…….
The completed flag was a black flag without any emblems..
An unsightly old flag with traces of five pieces being patched together..
I lifted it carefully..
I put off reading the flag's stat description for a bit. Instead, I took a long look at the old flag..
It is just an empty flag without any patterns or symbols..
***
next day.
I gathered the heroes together and raised my new flag - an empty black flag next to me..
I declared.
“Symbols are not used.”
“yes?”
Everyone looked at me with puzzled faces. I nodded..
“After defeating the monster and saving the world from destruction, the World Defense Front disbands..”
“…….”
“Our purpose is not to leave our mark in history or to gain power..”
Purely. simply.
united to save the world.
“No matter what other Frontline members' intentions are, as the leader of the Frontline, I must put the value of saving the world first..”
I continued in a serious tone..
“If we want to protect the world, anyone is our ally. There is no need to use symbols or flags to separate affiliations or divide sides..”
“…….”
“So, there is no need for symbols. I will make this symbolless symbol the banner of our battle lines..”
A faint smile flashed across everyone's lips. I frowned..
“……what. Why is everyone laughing so hard? This side is serious.”
“No, what should I say?.”
Evangeline, standing in front, shrugged her shoulders..
“He spoke so naturally and confidently, like a warrior of justice from an old story would say..”
I felt embarrassed, but for no reason I spoke harshly..
“Are you dissatisfied??”
“Is that possible? That's why it's good to be under your command..”
I shook my head and picked up my flag next to me..
“prepare for departure!”
Raising the empty flag without any symbol upwards, I shouted.
“To the Hwangdo… … Let's go to New Terra!”
