Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 458
◈ 458. [Side Story] Battle of the Imperial Capital (3)
Imperial Capital New Terra).
A port city on the continent's inland sea and a center of global trade and logistics..
The south gate of this great city was locked..
Click, click, click…….
In front of the high and thick castle gate, people wearing crowns approached on horseback..
Among them, the small girl at the forefront - the Dragon Lady, with long black hair flowing in a high silver crown - raised her voice and shouted..
“Listen! The person is Dusk Bringer, the king of the Bringer Principality.!”
It was a lion's hoo that was so powerful that it was hard to believe that it came from such a small body..
“We gathered together out of concern for the future of the world and came here as field commanders of the ‘World Defense Front’.!”
However, there is no response from the high walls..
Regardless, Dusk Bringer continued..
“Listen to Fernandez, you traitor who tolerated his brother and tried to harm his father! Surrender now! Then you can avoid becoming a sinner of history.!”
Still silent.
When Fernandez didn't even reveal his nose, Dusk Bringer changed his target..
“Soldiers of the Empire!”
Although she cannot be seen, she shouted to the imperial soldiers waiting on the castle walls..
“The real emperor Traha ‘Peacemaker’ Everblack is on our side! You are being deceived by a false emperor.!”
“…….”
“Don’t choose the path of becoming a sinner of history! Make a decision now and open the gate! Protect your people, your family, and your colleagues!”
Dusk Bringer opened his small mouth..
“If you don't open the door despite our warnings…….”
Between her sharp teeth, magical light fluttered and gathered like flames..
“I will break it with my might.”
Dusk Bringer roared, preparing his dragon breath..
“As a descendant of the guardian dragon that once protected your country, as the king of the Principality of Bringer, your ally and shield - and as the queen over the ruins whose country was trampled upon by you! I will not hesitate to burn down your gates.!”
flashing-!
The magic power condensed from Dusk Bringer's mouth was shot out in the form of a beam..
One of the powers granted by dragon blood, the dragon breath, which radiates primal magic power, flew towards the south gate of New Terra..
and,
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
It's blocked.
The magic barrier spread on the castle wall glowed bright blue, completely canceling out the red breath..
“Sheesh!”
Dusk Bringer clicked his tongue and a small flame flowed from the corner of his mouth..
“Is it ancient protection magic? … This won't break through with just one or two shots..”
Still, the power of Dragon Breath was certain..
The artifacts on the castle wall that were performing protective magic suddenly discharged their magic power and fell silent with sparks flying..
Is it because it was decided that dragon breath strikes should not be allowed to continue?.
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…….
The gates began to open.
“Hey, have you finally felt like talking to Gwain??”
Dusk Bringer was pleased, but that wasn't the intention when he opened the door..
chuck! chuck! chuck!
Troops dressed in armor poured out in an orderly manner through the open door. They were the ones left on Fernandez's side among the Imperial Guard..
flashing!
giiiiing……!
At the same time, a magic corps appeared on the castle wall..
Dozens or hundreds of magic artifacts were in an attack stance and were aimed at Dusk Bringer, and agile airships rose in the sky and slowly lowered their altitude and approached..
“hot! I searched the beehive and a lot of them appeared.!”
Dusk Bringer was laughing as he looked at the imperial troops who were finally showing their true colors, but reports continued to be heard from behind..
“A report to you, Your Excellency! Imperial troops appear from the rear as well.!”
“What??”
“It's an ambush! That flag... … Flags of the Imperial Army's 2nd and 3rd Corps!”
“They're surrounding us from the rear.!”
Dusk Bringer looked back in surprise..
As reported by the adjutants, a series of legions had suddenly appeared from the rear and were widely surrounding this area..
If the 1st Corps protects the borders of the empire and the Ecliptic Defense Force protects the vicinity of New Terra, the 2nd and 3rd Corps protect the rest of the empire's territory..
They had already been summoned to the imperial capital and were listening to Fernandez's orders..
“indeed… … Are you saying that there was no intention in the first place to engage in a submissive battle in which one would be gently beaten?.”
The Imperial Defense Force of the castle gate. The magic corps of the castle wall. The 2nd and 3rd Corps blocking the rear.
Dusk Bringer gritted his teeth as he inspected the Imperial army's encampment tightening from all directions..
Fairy Queen Skuld and Dwarf King Kellyson urgently asked her..
“King of Dragon Blood, what are you going to do now??”
“If we continue to clash like this, we will lose.!”
Although there was a large number of troops gathered in a hurry,.
Because it was hastily assembled, the current World Defense Front was extremely weak as an army..
In an honest head-to-head match like now, the imperial army could never be defeated..
“……Let's do as Ash tells us..”
Dusk Bringer turned his horse's head..
“Let's retreat!”
“……!”
“Everyone listen! Clear the escape route! Break through to one point before the siege is complete! Now, follow the wine.-!”
As if the fierce provocation had been a lie, Dusk Bringer smoothly changed the direction of the army and prepared to escape from this area..
“Prepare to retreat! in rush formation!”
“in rush formation-!”
The formation was prepared according to some rough training in advance..
Among the fallen king's forces gathered here, the Knights of the Duchy of Bringer, the strongest single army, took the lead, and the remaining forces gathered one after another..
“Let's get out! Hey! Hey-!”
With Dusk Bringer's command, the troops of the World Defense Front began to march in a line..
The Imperial Army's 2nd and 3rd Corps, which were surrounding from the rear, were all heavy knights. Movement was slow.
“make way-!”
Before the siege was complete, the troops of the World Defense Front rushed out in a hurry, broke through the gap between the two legions, and began to flee south again..
***
“…….”
Reina was watching this while standing on the castle wall..
It's like shooting the breath once and then running away when they try to counterattack..
“I'm not a child who rings the doorbell and runs away, what is this?…….”
“Lord Rayna, won't you order a chase??”
The adjutant asked, puzzled. Reina didn't answer right away and frowned at him..
‘Prince Ash is no ordinary person. He's probably up to something..’
Reina tried to understand Ash's intentions..
‘……Are you trying to lure us in??’
It is reasonable to say that the reason he came all the way to the gate and then ran away again was to induce chase from this side..
If this side goes in deep pursuit because of the other side's provocation, they may fall into Ash's trap..
‘Even the Geronimo I saw yesterday has an unidentified hiding function.…….’
A hiding ambusher surprises our troops who are pursuing them. It was a story with enough potential..
“Then should we call in the troops outside??”
“……no.”
It was a siege formation that took a long time to complete. And it was obvious that the troops fleeing now were the majority of the World Defense Front's strength..
‘It is right to strike now, even if it means taking some damage..’
The enemies were some kind of country boy from the frontier..
Look at them waddling away without being able to form an army..
‘Prince Ash may be great, but the forces he has gathered are nothing special..’
It's no different from a balloon that has been forcibly inflated..
If you could prick it with a needle and get the air out, it would collapse on its own..
Reina decided and gave an order..
“The 2nd and 3rd Corps should widen the encirclement and hold the rear, and the Imperial Guard should utilize its mobility to advance and block them.!”
If the heavily armed 2nd and 3rd Corps catch them, the Imperial Guard, a cavalry-oriented force, makes a wide detour and hits them in the back of the head. It was a tactic of encirclement and annihilation..
“The air fleet slowly follows the encirclement a beat later. The enemy has a secret secret! always keep in mind!”
“yep!”
“The enemies must have dug a trap. But I am prepared for damage.!”
Reina commanded, extending her hand forward..
“It is for the future of the empire. go ahead!”
***
The escape of the World Defense Front did not last long..
Although the 2nd and 3rd corps were broken through, they clung tenaciously and slowed down the speed of the World Defense Front, while the Imperial Defense Force rode like flying horses within its territory and blocked the front of the World Defense Front..
Eventually, on the southern plain, far from the city walls, the World Defense Front was surrounded by the 2nd and 3rd corps and the Imperial Guard..
“haha…….”
Dusk Bringer was breathing heavily at the head of the troops who had stopped, their ranks completely disorganized..
Above the Imperial Army's siege net that was finally completed, an air force fleet was flying after them, carefully searching the surrounding airspace..
“Wow, we're completely surrounded..”
“Now do we have to face it head on??”
“There is a chance of winning……?”
The tense soldiers of the World Defense Front swallowed their dry saliva..
The imperial army was also nervous. As the distance gradually narrowed, the imperial soldiers also swallowed their saliva..
Prince Ash must have set a trap..
Didn't we lose two airships yesterday because of that?.
What kind of strange trick did they have in store this time?…….
The imperial army hesitated and approached slowly. Dusk Bringer chuckled at that sight..
“Well, anyway… … At this level, it can be said that the main purpose has been achieved..”
Immediately afterwards, Dusk Bringer jerked something out from the saddle of the horse he was riding..
The nervous imperial soldiers were startled. It was clear that the trap Ash had prepared was finally revealed..
And what Dusk Bringer took out and unfolded was…….
flutter-!
……It was a white flag.
“surrender!”
Dusk Bringer shouted, waving his plain white flag from side to side..
“Surrender! We have no more will to fight!”
“……?!”
Both the soldiers of the World Defense Front and the Imperial Army opened their eyes wide at this absurd situation..
Regardless, Dusk Bringer chuckled and shouted as Ash told him to..
“Long live His Majesty Emperor Fernandez.!”
I felt like I knew a little bit about why Ash lived like an idiot..
“help me!”
This was fun.
***
“……There is no ambush?”
Raina frowned after hearing the report..
“Besides, surrender quietly? What nonsense is that??”
“I'm just telling you what happened..”
“No, it doesn't make sense in common sense. You let things get to this point and then surrender? In this situation?”
Reina, who was muttering in bewilderment, suddenly shook her shoulders..
“……wait for a sec. Then no way.”
Immediately afterwards, Raina shouted urgently..
“look at the sky!”
“yes?”
“Mobilize all the scanning artifacts installed on the ecliptic and scan the sky! Is there anything strange moving?!”
The wizards of the Magic Corps were quickly mobilized..
After a few minutes, a wizard sensed something was wrong and shouted:.
“Lord Rayna! I will report to you!”
“say!”
“Detect heat sources from above! Something invisible to the naked eye is approaching the ecliptic at high speed.!”
Reina had a hunch.
Ash's flagship Geronimoda.
“where are you coming from?”
“yes?”
“Where is the destination on the ecliptic?!”
“That is… … If you take this route, it's the imperial palace.!”
“……!”
Reina gritted her teeth..
The wizard who finished the analysis shouted once again with a face glistening with cold sweat..
“The enemy aircraft is at a very high altitude... … It's heading straight towards the imperial palace.!”
