Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 466
◈ 466. [Side Story] The flag at the front
Imperial palace. central prison.
This place where guards stand guard with anxious expressions,
bang!
The door was opened roughly, and Metallic and the 1st Corps appeared..
“Everyone stay still.!”
“This prison is under siege! don't resist!”
The guards were not stupid enough to resist the 1st Corps, which could be said to be the most elite of the Imperial Army..
Morale had fallen to the lowest level due to the emperor's speech..
The security forces were soon overpowered, and Metallic hurriedly entered the prison..
Most of the prisoners in the central prison were brought in for opposing Fernández..
Metallic ordered their release and walked towards the heart of the prison..
“My lord! Where are you!”
As Fernandez prepared for the shutdown protocol in earnest, Larque was transferred here. Metallic had received information in advance..
“My lord! It's metallic! We are here to save you!”
Metallic, who was shouting and heading inside, suddenly stopped..
The innermost part of the prison. In a narrow prison room where not even the light comes in properly.
the man was trapped.
He lost both arms and legs, and his face was drooping pitifully..
“lord!”
Metallic rushed towards him, crying out as if he was vomiting blood. Larque, who was dying in the prison cell, opened his blurred eyes..
“……metallic, light?”
“Yes, my lord. That's me! I'll take it out now.”
Metallic held back tears and took Lark out of the prison cell..
L'Arc was in a miserable state, having lost all of his limbs, but as soon as he was carried out of the prison cell by Metalik, he sharpened his consciousness..
“The current situation……?”
“His Royal Highness Prince Ash is leading the entire operation to stop His Highness Fernandez.!”
Metallic briefly reported the entire battle situation and tried to escape with Metalik on his back..
But Larque put a stop to that metallic thing..
“Sir Metallic. leave me behind.”
“……yes?”
“I have to go where my brothers fight.”
Larque looked at the imperial palace visible not far away from the prison entrance..
The imperial palace, where black thorn trees had proliferated, was already starting to look more like a bizarre dungeon than a palace..
“To the place where our brother's fate is decided... … I have to be there.”
“…….”
“So, leave me behind.”
“That can't be possible.”
Carrying Lark on his back and heading towards the imperial palace, Metallic spoke in a blunt voice..
“I will take you wherever you want to go, my lord..”
“You won't come out alive.”
“It doesn't matter. I will live and die with you, my lord..”
“…….”
The determination in the old knight's voice was clear..
Having fought countless battles together throughout his life, Larc knew well that he could not break the old knight's will..
“Thank you, Sir Metallic..”
Therefore, no longer rejecting his loyalty, Larque surrendered himself and spoke heavily:.
“egg plant. To the final battlefield.”
Metallic lifted Lark up on his back without saying a word and took a step forward..
To the imperial palace covered in thorns.
To the place of the decisive battle that will decide the fate of the world, where Fernandez and Ash are engaged in a bloody battle..
***
Kwagwagwagwang!
The throne room had already been destroyed to the point where its original shape was unrecognizable..
Fernandez used Everblack's branches as if they were his own limbs and attacked me, and I blocked them all with the summoned fortress walls..
“Pfft!”
The problem is that Everblack is not just a tree..
It is a guardian tree of mankind directly connected to the spirit world, and is like a magic antenna that transmits the power of the spirit world to mankind..
In other words,
Kugugugugung Palace!
The tree branch itself has magical properties more powerful than any other weapon.……!
Thorns poured out from all directions, crushing the wall I had summoned like clay. I gritted my teeth and leaned back..
“If you keep retreating like that, how are you going to stop me? Little brother?”
Fernandez grinned, still sitting leisurely on the throne..
“You won't have much time, right? I can't afford to spin around like that and take advantage of my gaps.?”
“Ha, you're so loud, ha, I'll put my fist in your chin, ha, be quiet..”
I took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from my chin..
Before I knew it, the distance between me and Fernandez had grown significantly..
Between us, countless thorn tree trunks are tangled together, their tips flapping viciously. Like a bunch of poisonous snakes.
‘It's harder than I thought…….’
While I was muttering to myself, Fernandez slowly stood up..
“Look at this, Ash..”
Then he suddenly took off his top..
I frowned as hard as I could..
“I have no taste for looking at men’s bodies.…….”
“I don't think it's just a taste that shows it's me... … Look at this engraved.”
Fernandez's body is filled with letters, like tattoos. I clicked my tongue..
“No, why did you draw so many pictures? Then you won't be able to enter the public bathhouse..”
“These are the records I left in the last episode..”
Fernandez lightly laughed at me and pointed to his upper body..
“From the distant past before your regression began, to all the episodes I have recorded. This world has never survived.”
“…….”
“Always destroyed. In the final great invasion by monsters, the front line collapsed, the country burned, and people died..”
Fernandez stared at me intently..
“I think this time will be different?”
“so?”
I growled..
“He plans to kill them all with his brother's hands and run away to the spirit world with only their souls... … I came up with this crazy plan?”
“At first, I tried to surrender to the devil and beg for my life. But I soon realized. Even if he accepts my surrender, I can't trust him..”
That's true.
Rather, it is more likely that they will say, “I will let you live because you surrendered,” and then kill them all..
If a flock of sheep entrusts the key to the fence to a group of hunting dogs, isn't the result obvious?.
“So, this ‘last ark’ plan was prepared..”
“The name is very clever…….”
“If the Demon King accepts our surrender, humanity that did not board the ark will also be able to survive. But if we don't accept surrender, at least the humans on the ark will survive..”
I shook my head..
“this is not survival.”
“no! It is definitely survival. Even though the body perishes, the soul and will continue. With this, the human species and our empire endure..”
Fernandez nodded heavily..
“This was the best solution I could come up with in the face of certain destruction..”
“It's the best option…….”
I grinned and laughed openly..
“To me, it seems like a rare find..”
“spadework……?”
“It feels like a very big kick to the butt cheek..”
Fernandez's eyes narrowed. I growled fiercely..
“The game isn't over yet. But instead of trying to fight until the last moment, you start thinking about running away.…….”
“You talk a lot, little brother, even though you lost all your battles so far..”
Kugugugugung Palace……!
The thorn trees sprang up, intertwining themselves. Thorn trees sprouting from all directions approached me at random, aiming for my neck..
“After being constantly defeated, broken, and spent - even losing myself. And yet you still say you will fight?.”
Fernandez knew.
I'm in a state of overwriting other people's memories.
Nevertheless, the reason he continued to treat me like his younger brother was… … Nevertheless, is it because I acknowledged that the main body of will for this strategy is still me, Ash?.
“This episode is the last chance for survival left to humanity in this world! That opportunity... … I'm not foolish enough to take uncertain gambles!”
Fernandez roared..
“I will save those I can save. I will lead their souls to the new world!”
“…….”
“And Ash. You are also included in the people I will save..”
“what?”
“You are fully worthy of salvation. No, you must be saved..”
Fernandez's dark red eyes sparkled with vivid determination..
“In return for inheriting the heavenly punishment of being a regressor... … You, who fought for the world while abandoning yourself, must be saved..”
“…….”
“So, I will knock you out right here. And I will force you to board my ark..”
The thorns are already densely surrounding me..
One gesture from Fernandez, and he'll attack me at the same time..
Before the final attack, Fernandez said anxiously:.
“Let's go, Ash. Let's leave for the new world together.”
“…….”
“An eternal empire that lasts in the spirit world... … Rule with me. You, no, only you deserve it.”
I listened to Fernandez’s proposal with my head down.,
“……my salvation.”
Smirking, I answered.
“It's not like hiding in a place like that..”
“……!”
“My salvation... … After fighting and winning, you will get it..”
I raised my head to face Fernandez and exhaled forcefully..
“It's just as you said. So far I've lost every game. Even so. There's no way you'll fail this time too?”
“don't be stupid!”
Fernandez gritted his teeth. His fist was shaking..
“You've never won before! Why can’t you discern between right and wrong? We can't win! Look at the countless records of defeat engraved on my body.!”
“…….”
“Let's give up now, Ash. please! It's your last chance! No one blames you for running away!”
“It's not a matter of someone blaming me.”
I shook my head slightly..
“It's a matter of whether I'm honest with myself..”
“what…….”
“There is definitely a chance of winning. brother.”
The game exists to be conquered..
True ending.
I have already caught the slightest clue to getting there..
Of course, it will be a difficult and difficult road. however-
If there is a road in front of you.
As a flag bearer.
I have to stand at the front and make my way through it..
“I have a suggestion. Don't give up, bro..”
“…….”
“This final episode... … Please join me. Fight alongside me.”
Unless the odds are zero. i don't give up.
'Cause I'm a player of this game.
So, instead of giving up on Fernandez, who had already crossed the irreversible river, I reached out to him..
……but.
“I can't communicate.”
Fernandez only slowly raised his hand with a stern expression..
“Yeah, I didn't think I could convince you with words from the beginning..”
Kugugugugugugung-!
Like tens of thousands of snakes forming a coil, the thorn tree trunks lined up around me.,
“I'll force you to listen to me, Ash.……!”
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
Thorns began to pour down on me like waves..
“okay… … Sometimes you have to shake your fist to understand a relationship..”
Looking at that, I gritted my teeth and smiled..
“Then, shall I go with all my might?.”
It was time to use the special equipment I had acquired this time, the [Great Commander's Banner] effect, in actual combat for the first time..
“Hmm-!”
grasp!
I put the flagpole in the ground.
Fernandez looked at me like that and sneered..
“no use! Your walls can't stop Everblack! You should know better!”
That's true.
The fortress summoning technique I used so far - [Imperial Declaration] was completely destroyed by Everblack..
……So, we need to evolve it to the next level..
my ultimate prayer.
And myself too……!
flashing!
A gray fortress rose from beneath my banner.
Thorns rained down on my fortress from all directions. The gray wall quickly split, crumbled, and collapsed..
I probably won't be able to last even a few more seconds..
……that is enough.
“-I say.”
Inside the collapsing fortress, I muttered softly.
“This is a fight for the fate of the world..”
Clutching the flag and wishing with earnest heart-
shouted.
“All who once held this flag - gather here!”
