Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 450
◈ 450. [Side Story] Departure
Of course, not all of the Monster Front's forces are leaving for New Terra..
We must leave troops to defend the monster front. Moving north is part of it..
‘Who will you leave behind and who will you take??’
It was a difficult problem.
If you bring too many troops, the defense of the monster front will be weakened..
If, by any chance, monsters made a great invasion while our main force was leaving for the north, and Crossroads fell, the world would be destroyed. It was literally a reversal of words..
We must leave troops to firmly guard the Crossroads..
However, if you concentrate your troops on the Crossroads and go up to the Ecliptic with too few people, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to recapture New Terra and be killed by Fernandez..
‘Of course, there are also troops from other alliances..’
This time, the troops from all over the world who decided to join the World Defense Front will all be deployed to the plains in front of the imperial capital, New Terra... … We decided to gather in front of the Iris River..
These alone would be quite large in number. But I can't treat them like my own hands and feet right away..
I needed some troops to use..
In the end, after much deliberation, I confirmed and announced the number of people..
“Prince Dusk Bringer and his troops. Remnants of the Imperial Army's 1st Corps led by Lord Metallic. Kuilan's punishment unit. Verdandi's Holy Grail Expedition. Hannibal's spirit party. Finally, the gambling club.”
After calling my name, I put down the paper with my name written on it..
“This is how I go out to war.”
Those whose names were not called looked perplexed. Evangeline was the first to raise her hand..
“Senior, our name wasn’t called.?”
“Everything else remains.”
“yes?”
My frightened subordinates looked at me with bewildered eyes. I said one more time.
“Everything else remains. To keep Crossroads safe.”
Dusk Bringer must participate in the war as the king of the Bringer Principality and commander of several small countries and forces..
Sir Metallic is the leader of the Imperial Army's 1st Corps, and originally joined my command to avenge Larc. I have to take him.
Kuilan is the king of the beast people. Verdandi is the vice queen of the elves. Confirmed to participate as representative.
In the same vein, Kelly Bay and Serenade are the father of the Dwarf King and the spokesperson for the Mermaid King..
There was also a problem with the operation of an airship, so we decided to go together. However, since he is not a combatant, there is no need to mention it here..
Hannibal is the representative of the mixed race, and was brought in to show consideration for his political position..
Gamble Club… … These are the friends selected from the beginning in preparation for the match against Fernandez. Of course I was selected.
So, this is the number of people who must be taken..
In other words, there is no reason to necessarily take the rest. I intended to leave as many troops at Crossroads as possible except for those needed..
“Ha, but…….”
Evangeline, who was about to say something, was stopped and pushed back, and Lucas stepped forward and spoke in a serious voice..
“Isn't it too dangerous, my lord??”
I gestured to keep talking. Lucas continued..
“I'm not asking you to take your entire army. We are well aware that the defense of Crossroads is also of utmost importance..”
“…….”
“But wouldn't you at least need our main party, which is the bodyguard under His Majesty's direct command??”
main party.
In fact, it has been a long time since we separated from each other, but we still have a sense of belonging as one party... … The strongest combination in the Monster Front, both in name and reality..
Me, Lucas, Evangeline, Junior, Damian.
The problem was that each of the five main party members was trained too well..
Each one was extremely useful, but the problem was that they accounted for a large portion of the monster front..
If I'm not there, Lucas will have to act as the commander of the monster front..
Because there is no one more talented than Lucas who can control the entire monster battle here. So, of course Lucas should stay..
Evangeline is now the commander of the monster front's close combat unit..
This girl knight protects her allies and pierces monsters with her overwhelming defense and breakthrough power, allowing white infantry units to fight on the front lines with shocking efficiency..
As the leader of the wizard party, Junior is responsible for wide-area attacks and battlefield climate control..
Whether she participates in the war or not participates in the war, the difference in the efficiency of the defensive battle is several times greater..
And Damian is an elite killer.
It is the strongest spear on the front line that can snipe enemy elite units, named units, and even boss units..
In fact, more than half of the enemy high-level unit kills are done by Damian alone..
I can't hire anyone.
Rather, it is the opposite. If you leave these four people behind on the monster front, you can leave safely..
“There is no change in personnel!”
I said sternly.
“Those who have been called should prepare to go out, and the rest should remain here and firmly protect the front line! more!”
After the meeting was over.
Lucas and the main party came to me. He still seemed worried..
“My lord. How about taking Damian with you at least? This will be useful in many situations.”
“…….”
It's not that useful.
Clairvoyance is a truly crazy trait. Just taking Damian with you will make the battle in the Imperial Capital much easier..
but.
“This time it's a war against people. You won't be killing monsters, you'll be killing people..”
There are no monsters in this battlefield..
There are only people who want to kill people.
Just like it has been... … We could define them as monsters.
In reality, Fernandez and his troops who are trying to massacre the innocent citizens of New Terra are all monsters. That is why I am willing to go to this war..
but, but.
There must also be soldiers who are forced to move not because of their beliefs but because of Fernández's orders..
In this battlefield, we will have to defeat those people too..
I don't want Damien to murder. Damien is soft-hearted and reluctant to kill..
Above all, this kid is already a great sniper even without doing those things..
Damian must play an important role in the future decisive battle with the remaining monsters..
I was worried that if I took him to this ecliptic raid, he would be traumatized and damaged as a sniper..
At that time, Damien walked forward and shook his head slightly..
“It's the opposite, prince..”
“huh?”
“I have to go so that I can suppress those people without taking their lives..”
“……!”
“In the past, I was a sniper who always shot only the opponent's weak points. I couldn't even control the power of the magic bullet. But now that I have the know-how, I can shoot ‘where I want’ with ‘the power I want.’.”
Damian grinned..
“It is possible to sniper for suppression without threatening life. It will be very useful?”
I opened my mouth slightly..
As long as it is possible to subdue the opponent without taking his or her life. It's definitely as Damian said. It is even more useful because it is a war against people..
I smiled helplessly. Anyway, that weak guy even volunteered to take me with him..
You've really grown up a lot, you too.
“majesty.”
At that time, Junior, who had been hesitating behind him, stepped forward..
“I want to go, too.”
“…….”
I swallowed my words for a moment and carefully let them out..
“Junior. As you well know, this time we clash with Fernandes..”
“yes.”
“And under Fernandez… … There is a magic corps.”
And the leader of the magic corps is Sir Rayna..
The old wizard who is intricately intertwined with Junior..
It's different from other people. The magic corps is a troublesome wizard unit that is higher than the Aegis Special Forces, and they are absolutely loyal to Fernandez..
With high probability… … we will fight and kill each other.
“……So I have to go.”
Junior, clenching his fists, raised his head and looked straight at me..
“In my relationship with that person, no. In all this bondage of resentment that has continued from the past... … We have to put an end to it..”
“…….”
“Please take me with you. Whatever the ending, I want to see it with my own eyes..”
I swallowed my words and eventually sighed and turned my head..
I saw a girl knight looking this way with her arms crossed, and a blonde protagonist standing silently next to her..
“Lucas. Evangeline. It's really okay just the two of you?”
“That's too much, senior..”
Evangeline smiled wickedly..
“You don't even care about the other soldiers supporting the front line here.?”
“No, I don't mean that.…….”
“All the soldiers on the monster front here remain. And those people are the ones who have truly supported the monster front..”
Yes.
The basis of the monster front here - all the soldiers remain. Besides that, there are still dozens of heroes left..
Above all, it's Lucas and Evangeline..
They are the strongest knight duo under my command. If you don't trust these two, who can you trust?.
“Don't worry and go. I'm sure they're blocking it well.”
Evangeline grinned, her fangs flashing..
Then Lucas opened his mouth..
“Even if I can't follow them directly, the fact that Damien and Junior are next to their master reassures me. Because I'm a trustworthy colleague..”
Lucas bowed his head slightly..
“I trust that you will have a good trip and I will wait for you. Please, my lord, trust us, and please don’t worry about the southern front and travel with peace of mind..”
“……Thanks, guys..”
I expressed my sincere gratitude..
I looked around at my colleagues and patted them on the shoulder one by one. Even as we prepared for our brief farewell, we smiled at each other..
The future was uncertain and uncertain. but.
My trust in my colleagues, with whom I had gone through hell together, was stronger than my anxiety..
***
Lake Kingdom District 8.
Magic Tower.
flashing!
After riding the teleport gate, I came back here..
《You're welcome, Ash..》
Cyber Lich has now completely converted to a friendly NPC... … The midnight sun was waiting for me.
She had a skull-shaped face on the machine's monitor screen and spoke out at me through the speaker..
《I was waiting. It just happened to be completed..》
The four kings of different races brought to this meeting some of the guardian beasts of each race..
The elf world tree, the roots of evergreen.
Dwarf's Gold Vein, Evergold Branch.
Mermaid's Blue Coral Reef, Everblue Fragment.
And the cursed autumn leaves of the beast, the leaves of Evered.
As soon as I secured these, I immediately gave them to Baekya, and Baekya was synthesizing Everblack using pieces of these four trees..
I muttered to myself as I followed her guidance and headed into the arboretum..
“It is said that the Empire worked hard for a long time to find and destroy these four trees..”
Burned the World Tree.
Digging up a vein of gold.
Blue coral covered with lime,
It is said that the maple trees were cut down..
‘It seems that the reason the Danpungrang tribe was attacked was so that the empire could cut down these trees.…….’
It was truly fortunate that each race possessed at least some fragments of these guardian beasts..
Even though the World Tree was thought to have burned to death, some of its roots managed to survive.,
The gold veins were carefully divided and hidden by the dwarves.,
Blue coral also lost its original power to cover an island, but mermaids transplanted it to various places and maintained its existence..
The cursed maple tree... … By a strange fate. Since he was a Kuilan who lived trapped inside, it is said that he knew the secret space inside..
The tree had already been cut down, but among the fallen leaves in the secret space... … A baby maple tree was growing.
‘You did something bad to Kuilan..’
There may not be any good memories, but Kuilan has been silently collecting leaves and pieces of maple trees..
As I was thinking, the midnight sun muttered quietly..
《I don't know much about what's going on in the outside world... … If you were trying to get rid of those four guardian trees, you must have had multiple goals..》
“…….”
《For the persecution of this race. Or, to prevent new Everblacks from being created..》
And inside the arboretum we entered following the guidance of Byakya.…….
A long, thin, wand-like branch was floating in the air with magical power..
pitch black, black thorn tree.
《However, here in the Lake Kingdom, the technology of the time was completely preserved, and it was possible to create something new like this..》
“Everblack…….”
This tree is my surname, the name of my empire, and the guardian tree of mankind..
I held the thorn stick carefully. The Everblack cane was held tightly in my hand, as if recognizing its owner..
《Currently, the number of people who can 'use' the tree is limited. Perhaps the emperor who took over that tree hundreds of years ago had a special setting for it. and…….》
Byakuya took a close look at me holding the staff in my hand, and then spat out..
《You deserve it. ash.》
“okay.”
Because he’s one of those handsome ‘Guardians of the Empire’..
《Since it was made of pieces rather than the main body of the tree, and because there was not enough time for it to take root and sprout... … That wand will only perform partially as Everblack..》
As the guardian of humanity, Everblack has many great functions. A magic lighthouse and all, roots reaching into the spirit world and all.…….
But these are all things I don’t need. There was only one reason I needed this tree.
《What on earth are you going to do with that little twig??》
Instead of answering Baekya, who was curious, I smiled. and answered.
“Victory.”
The key is ready. Condition has been cleared.
Now, it's time to give it a try with all my might..
