Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 455
◈ 455. [Side Story] Key
next morning.
A deserter occurred at the World Defense Front's military camp..
The remnants of the 1st Legion, including Metallic, and several of the fallen king's forces disappeared. He ran away at night before I could do the intense newspaper work..
“It seems like everyone who escaped last night ran to Fernandez..”
I announced the fugitives to the remaining kings and then grinned..
“All of you who remain here have decided to uphold the banner of our World Defense Front... … You can look at it that way..”
All of these were attached to the emperor, not to Fernández. Well, you can look at it that way..
Some may still be hesitant, but the last train for Fernandez to leave has been cut off..
Those who remain here will now be mobilized for an all-out war against Fernandez, whether they like it or not..
“It's a shame we missed the fugitives. If I had captured it, there would have been a lot of information I could dig up..”
One of the kings said this.
That is correct. If we had strictly guarded ourselves, we could have captured them..
‘But that would interfere with my key infiltration operation..’
I intentionally deployed security forces laxly and did not stop the escapees even though I was informed of their escape movements..
I watched quietly as they fled in a huff towards the north..
In other words, I sent it on purpose..
‘The people we sent this time will guide us into the ecliptic..’
I glanced north.
I hope that those who ran away quickly reach New Terra..
***
Ecliptic, New Terra.
south gate.
Click, click, click…….
A group of troops appeared on horseback in front of the tightly closed door..
Those who looked very tired and exhausted were all those who escaped from the World Defense Front last night..
At the front was Metalik, commander of the Imperial Army's 1st Corps, riding his horse with a stern expression..
“Come on, come on!”
They stopped in front of the tightly closed south gate..
Hehehe-
A desolate wind blew.
There are no people on the outskirts of the city, which is surrounded by huge walls. instead.
Slam! Clap!
Magical water-based devices emitting fierce light have detected moving creatures and aimed their guns at the same time..
gulp……!
Dry saliva went down everyone’s throats..
Even though I knew it was a formality, it was never pleasant to see my life being targeted by mechanical devices that could tear the living to pieces in an instant..
Everyone looked nervous, but there were a few soldiers who seemed particularly nervous..
They were the last five soldiers of Metallic's 1st Corps..
No, five people 'dressed up as soldiers'.
“Fuck, fuck, what happened?…….”
The woman with light purple hair chewed and spit it out with chattering teeth..
“How did I end up here, damn…….”
She was none other than Violet, the leader of the gambler's party 'Gamble Club'..
Five heroes of the gambler's party 'Gamble Club'. They were wearing the uniforms of the 1st Legion and disguised as Metallic's subordinates..
Violet raised her face, glistening with cold sweat, and glanced at the south gate of New Terra..
The magic water-based devices installed on the left and right sides of the sturdy castle gate seemed as if they were about to spout magical flames at any moment..
Wiping her palms, damp with cold sweat, on her pants, Violet recalled the conversation she had with Ash a few days ago..
- I will tell you the mission the five of you will undertake this time..
When I was suddenly called in the middle of the night and ran to the commander's barracks, Ash continued by introducing Metallic..
- You disguise yourself as one of Lord Metallic's subordinate soldiers and enter the Imperial Capital with Lord Metallic..
- yes?
- Sir Metallic was Fernandez's spy, but he switched to our side again. In short, he will act as a double agent. You move together as subordinates of this metallic siren..
The faces of the five members of the gambler's party turned dark. Ash chuckled..
- Why do you do that? Didn't you all want to go back to the ecliptic??
- No, I did... … ! Isn't telling me to go in now like sticking my face into the mouth of a crocodile?!
- Weren't you trying to gamble me away? I guess that wasn't putting my face in the jaws of a crocodile.?
- no, that's…….
Ash winked slyly at Violet, who was speechless..
- It's no different from what you've always done. Disguised as a soldier, entered the heart of the world…….
match!
Ash's hands clapped loudly once..
- If you play a brilliant game of fraud, all the gold and silver treasures of the imperial capital will be yours..
- …….
- Don't deny it. This is the most dangerous gambling game you've ever faced in your life..
Ash stared at the five gamblers one after another..
- Instead, the rewards are enormous. A reward more enormous than anything you've ever faced in your life..
- …….
- Let's have the best meal, everyone..
Anyway, there is no right to veto..
Since you've come this far, don't give up. There is no option to step back.
Even if it's a waste of everything you've put in, you must pick it up and go back.……!
“So, don't be scared. Violet.”
Scarlett is the only N-rank hero among the five, and the girl with the best gambling ability in this party with no special abilities and only dexterity..
She gently squeezed Violet's shoulder. Violet turned her shaking face towards her..
“What Prince Ash said is correct. It's what we've always done anyway.?”
“Scarlett…….”
“They catch thugs and commit fraud. That's it.”
Looking up at the South Gate, which was still not open, a strange desire glowed in the girl gambler's eyes..
“In New Terra, the world's largest city of the world's most powerful empire, they commit fraud against the fake emperor who wants to rule the world.…….”
“…….”
“As a gambler, will there be another opportunity to go further than this??”
Ash was correct..
Gamblers are a group of perverted psychopaths who are addicted to risking their lives..
Scarlett's shoulders were trembling slightly. But it wasn't because of fear or nervousness.
It was exciting.
The excitement of a gambler facing an unprecedentedly large gambling table that he will never face again..
Violet looked around with a tired face. Although the degree was different, the complexions of the remaining members - Lime, Orange, and Cobalt were not much different..
Everyone's eyes were sparkling with strange eagerness..
Only then did Violet realize..
You may have the best ability among them, but.
Of these, I know that I am the scariest..
“Now that the stakes are high, I'm going to jump in. I will dance happily on the single rope..”
“Then, if you make a mistake?”
“That's something I'm always prepared for.?”
Scarlett waved her little hand.
“All of my hands are flying away, right?.”
“…….”
“If you're unlucky, you'll end up flying away. Haha.”
That's what gamblers are like..
He is no different from a clown performing tricks on a long, thin rope. If you slip even once, you fall down and die..
Last time, all five of them were defeated by Ash..
Scarlett prepared to die. But Ash saved them all and brought them under his command..
From the moment she was defeated by Ash, Scarlett the Gambler fell off the ropes..
She thought there was already a gallows rope around her neck..
So what is there to be afraid of?.
Anyway, there is no life hanging on this neck anymore..
The five gamblers swallowed dryly and quickly waited for the door to open. It was then.
「Please state your affiliation and identity.」
A dull broadcast sound sounded from the gate. Metallic shouted in a husky voice..
“I am Metallic, commander of the 1st Heavy and Long Knight Division, belonging to the 1st Corps of the Imperial Army. I am on my way back after being sent on a secret mission from His Highness Fernández..”
「…….」
“Please open the door quickly. we are all tired.”
As Metallic lost his temper, a broadcast sound rang a moment later..
「Your identity has been confirmed. Please wait a moment. I will open the door…….」
Kugugoogung Palace……!
the door started to open.
A flash of anger flashed across the faces of the gambling club members who were waiting with great nervousness. A faint look of relief appeared on Metallic's face..
That was right then..
Gooooo-!
A strong engine sound was heard from beyond the castle walls.,
Going to school……!
Three huge airships appeared in the sky as if bouncing..
A jet black aircraft carrier with a sword and rose, symbols of the imperial family. And two frigates covered in thick iron plates follow to the left and right..
Among them, the secret one was very famous..
The imperial family's exclusive flagship, and the empire's strongest secret ship, now used as the private aircraft of Fernandez and the magic corps..
“alcatraz……!”
Gooooooo-!
Alcatraz flew in with a terrifying mechanical sound and floated its heavy body above the south gate..
Kiiiiing…….
Slowly, the hatch below the ship opened, and an old female sorceress appeared, holding a cane, her coat flowing..
「Metallic Sir.」
When she opened her mouth, her voice was amplified dully through the speaker of the secret ship..
「You have returned. Thank you for your hard work so far..」
“……Lord Rayna.”
Metallic, noticing the other person's voice, gritted his teeth..
“It looks like you are having a lot of trouble too..”
Reina was seen laughing at Metallic's answer..
「Aren't we in a position to sacrifice our bodies and souls for each other's empire? Just work hard.」
“Then can I come in? She's been playing the role of a spy, something she's not used to, and it's been a struggle for her..”
「That won't work right away..」
Reina shrugged..
「As you know, His Majesty Fernandez's plans have been thwarted by several rats. I'm being very careful..」
The atmosphere was unusual.
The five gamblers at the gambling club felt cold sweat seeping out from their backs. Metallic also acted calm, but a shiver ran down his old spine..
「I'll do some checking to see if you brought any other rats with you..」
“What you mean by interrogation is?”
「It's no big deal. We are checking to see if there are any other members of the Gyeonggi Unit registered with us and their personal information..」
Reina let out a short laugh..
「I'm sure you didn't do anything suspicious, Sir Metallic..」
“…….”
「It will be over soon. Just stay still..」
Alcatraz's headlights began flying at a low altitude, emitting a dazzling magical light, and scanning those standing in front of the south gate..
Metallic gritted his teeth, and the gamblers closed their eyes tightly..
I didn't expect you to be caught right from the entrance.……!
「……hmm.」
but,
Reina looked at the scan results for a moment and then spoke in an extremely light tone..
「There's nothing wrong.」
“……?!”
「Sorry for keeping you waiting. You are welcome to come in. Welcome to New Terra, Lord Metallic. And everyone who came with us.」
Reina raised her hand in salute and disappeared into the airship..
「Well then, I'm off to do another mission..」
giiiiing-
The hatch door closes slowly.
Alcatraz and the two frigates slowly rose into the sky again and flew into the distance, spewing out large flames from their thrusters. Going to school……!
“…….”
“…….”
The gamblers, who were looking at the scene in bewilderment, only then noticed the strange incident. Purple magical energy surrounded their bodies..
“Whoo, whoo, whoo!”
When I looked back to find the epicenter of the purple magic that was disappearing, I found Violet panting heavily..
At that split-second, Violet deployed her illusion area and passed Reina's scan..
“article…….”
Violet managed to spit out with a face covered in cold sweat..
“I almost got fucked up, damn it…….”
Violet may seem timid, but she is a timid person who does what she does..
The rest of the gamblers laughed. Metallic also sighed in relief and looked ahead..
Kugugoogung Palace……!
New Terra's southern gate was now wide open..
Is it a paradise of gold and silver treasures, or is it the entrance to hell?.
Now, if you go in, you will find out..
