Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 525
◈ 525. [Side Story] Strengthening discipline (2)
Mikhail continued regardless of whether the air on our side became cold or not..
“Our Kingdom of Vermilion is located in a remote area in the northwest of the world. It's a very crappy environment, adjacent to deserts, snowy mountains, and even the sea. In other words, monsters invade from all over the place..”
“…….”
“I've been dealing with monsters since I was five years old when I first rode my griffon. And, to be honest, I don't think dealing with monsters is that difficult..”
Mikhail, who was gently stroking the neck of the gryphon standing behind him, looked straight at me..
“Prince Ash. You inflated the crisis of a monster invasion to scare the world, and used that as an excuse to launch this huge alliance. The Everblack Empire is trying to lay the foundation for unifying the world..”
“…….”
I stayed silent and shrugged my shoulders..
“So, what do you want to do, Crown Prince of Vermillion??”
“I will prove it. The monster invasion is a serious crisis..”
Mikhail spread his hands forward..
“During the next monster invasion, let our Sky Knights and your direct units compete against each other. Which one has a higher criminal record?.”
“Hoo…….”
I smiled, showing my teeth without realizing it..
“What if you win? what happens?”
Mikhail answered without hesitation.
“Command of the front here... … Our Sky Knights will take over..”
Lucas was angry, but I stopped him with my hand..
The boy knight, Mikhail, continued to speak in a sonorous voice..
“It doesn't matter if you remain the head of the alliance. But we will take command of the front line..”
“…….”
“If you do that, you will be able to check the dominance of your Everblack Empire in this great alliance..”
indeed.
For a fifteen-year-old, you're pretty smart..
Since the empire is overwhelming in terms of actual national power, the position of head of the alliance is left untouched. They aim to take command of the front line by proving that they are more capable at dealing with monsters..
‘If successful, here at the World Defense Front, an alliance of all countries around the world... … The national prestige of the Kingdom of Vermilion rises in an instant..’
The young crown prince's name will be widely known on the international stage..
Moreover, the match itself has a good chance of winning for the Sky Knights..
Aerial cavalry, all riding on gryphons, Sky Knights…….
In the game, it is a troop that can only be obtained in the latter half of the third year, but it is still very useful, so I put it to good use. It's definitely a very high quality elite..
I would have thought it would be a pretty good fight, and in fact it has a lot of potential..
The problem is that if the frontline commander here is a normal person, there is no way he would accept a match like this..
“That's fun.”
I guess I'm not normal.
“Okay, let's do it..”
When I accepted it, a shocked Lucas looked at me with his mouth wide open..
“lord?!”
“However, the conditions must be clear..”
I pushed Lucas away who tried to stop me and threatened Mikhail..
“If I win. You and your Sky Knights must become my faithful limbs. I don't agree?”
“of course.”
Mikhail nodded willingly, as if he was prepared for that much..
But his face turned slightly pale at my next words..
“If it's water, it bites, if it's dead, it'll die, if it's telling you to lie down, it'll lie down, and if it's telling you to open its belly and pant, it'll open its belly and pant. okay?”
“no… … That's a little bit…….”
“We should also have a Gryphon air show. I'll ask for it at every event. 3-turn formation flight in the air, something like that.!”
“…….”
“Anyway, I'm going to work you to the core, so you can't complain then. okay?”
Mikhail thought for a moment, but eventually nodded..
“good. I don't accept it.”
Actually, there's not much to lose over there..
Anyway, even if you stay still, you will become my subordinate as a member of the alliance. Before that, there will be an opportunity to compete for command. There's no reason to refuse.
“Good. The next defense is in a week..”
I grinned and stretched out my hand into the newly built barracks..
“I look forward to it, Mikhail Vermilion. Since I have dared to challenge the Monster Front by killing monsters, I am very much looking forward to seeing how great their flight will be..”
“…….”
“Well then, until then, would you please not cause trouble and move in quietly? Hurry up and go in!”
The Sky Knights, who had been having trouble moving in, began to enter the newly built barracks one by one, dragging their griffons..
I whispered to Mikhail, who was heading into the barracks with his griffon..
“And this is advice.”
“huh?”
“The monsters you've met so far and the monsters on the monster front are completely different. Keep that in mind.”
“…….”
Mikhail looked at me with clear eyes, and then went back inside, dragging the griffon..
As soon as Mikhail disappeared, Lucas ran towards me, making noises like ‘waaaaah’..
“Why did you accept it, my lord??!”
“Eh? We would win, but there's a problem.?”
“Isn’t there something that happens once in a while? The betting conditions are strange! We have so much to lose, and they have nothing to lose.!”
Lucas sounded stern, as if scolding me for my emotional response..
“If we lose, and you have to hand over command, why did you take such an inefficient gamble?!”
“If they can beat us, it's not a bad idea to leave it to them.?”
“yes?”
“That means they are capable and knowledgeable about fighting against monsters.?”
“uh…….”
Lucas made a dazed sound as if it made sense. I chuckled..
“yes? If they can beat us, they must be very talented. I guess it’s okay if I leave it to you..”
“That too… … That's true, but... … . No, um…….”
Of course, that can't be possible..
I am calmly assessing the stats of our army and the Vermilion Sky Knights..
And in reality, there are all kinds of variables and true abilities that cannot be explained simply by statistics..
‘There's no way you'll lose.’
In terms of stats, variables, everything… … we are ahead.
Strategy must be carried out in the realm of certainty..
I was confident that out of 100, I would win..
“And, you get a lot from this one game..”
“There are a lot?”
“Mikhail is one of the strongest men in the world, and the Sky Knights are a high-quality workforce that stands out among the troops joining this time..”
I looked back at my men and cracked my fist loudly..
“If I break them and make a habit out of them, the rest of my troops will naturally obey me..”
In short, Mikhail and the Sky Knights challenged our side as representatives of the newly joined forces..
Breaking the arrogance of such arrogant and ambitious newcomers is also a necessary task in running an organization..
‘In fact, I'm thankful that you started the fight first..’
There's no need to convince me in detail. With just this one event, the rankings will be completely resolved..
“I'm not trying to scare those newbies, guys.?”
When I looked around at my subordinates and asked in a slightly provocative tone, their faces immediately became warm..
“Let's show it to the kids who ignored the fight we've been fighting..”
I smiled fiercely, showing my molars..
“A Monster Front veteran's fight against real monsters……!”

“iced coffee! Win and take command! Gwaine was going to do it first.!”
a few days later.
While I was checking the situation of the castle walls in preparation for the imminent monster invasion, Dusk Bringer came running towards me and said something like that..
Come to think of it, I almost played 5v5 PVP with five people, including Dusk Bringer and her Dragon Blood Knights. Somehow it went away…….
“Has the rumor spread about this match??”
“It has spread throughout the city! A battle for command between Prince Ash and Crown Prince Mikhail! There is no one who does not know.!”
‘I smiled at her as she continued to look disappointed, saying, “I was first~!”.
“Is the Archduke still seeking command??”
“Hmm?! Isn’t it obvious? The devil is always looking for the back of your neck.!”
After saying that, Dusk Bringer playfully clung to my back, opened his mouth, and bit the back of my neck..
Hey, stop. The Archduke's teeth are sharp and it stings..
After barely removing the Dusk Bringer and putting it down, she tilted her head and asked.
“But, is it really okay? The Sky Knights are one of the most prestigious knightly orders on the entire continent. It has a reputation comparable to that of Gwain's Dragon Blood Knights. Are you confident of winning??”
“Of course there is.”
I'm on the other side of the wall... … I looked at the southern plains.
“After all, fights between people aren't that important..”
“huh?”
“The next monster invasion that's coming soon won't be easy..”
3It's a year.
Now, even in the regular stage wave, more powerful and terrible monsters than before are coming..
“If you get caught, won't the prestigious Sky Knights fight harder? Our children will also be stimulated and muster up all the strength they had for breastfeeding..”
“…….”
“In addition, we also test our strength to see how well we fight, and it's all good stuff..”
When new people come into the organization, this can stimulate each other and lead to good competition..
If this chemical reaction can be put to good use, there is no reason to refuse it..
Dusk Bringer opened its mouth slightly and made a sound like a whoa, then lowered its large dragon's eye and asked..
“However, in the end, in this confrontation, there will be some troops that do not follow your tactical commands. Is it still okay? Isn’t operational efficiency decreasing??”
“The next defensive battle is still okay..”
southern plains.
I nodded, glaring in the direction of the black lake behind it..
“It's an easier battle if the air cavalry fights individually to attract attention..”
That's right, the next defense opponent is a monster.…….
***
On the day of the defense battle. early afternoon.
The troops lined up on the castle wall swallowed dry saliva and glared at the southern sky..
Doo doo doo doo doo-!
A sound like helicopter blades spinning echoes through the sky..
What appeared, staining the sky black were the giant beetle-shaped monsters..
Thick upper. Various horns rising from the head.
And the wide-spread, vibrating wings and the six thick, outstretched legs..
It's an army of beetles..
“Wow!”
“It's gross!”
Kuilan and Junior, who are weak against bugs, screamed at the same time..
I clicked my tongue inwardly. Hey, it's still worth looking at if it's a beetle. It was something like Centipede or Mr. Bar. I fainted first..
‘It just so happens to be a flying monster…….’
I slowly turned my head to the side and looked towards the waiting Sky Knights..
When does the air cavalry shine the brightest? It's time to deal with the flying monster. They will be able to demonstrate their fighting power to the fullest today..
“……?”
however.
How could we, Michael, the leader of the Sky Knights and the crown prince of the Kingdom of Vermilion... … His face has turned white. His fingertips are also trembling slightly..
As I approached, I asked curiously:.
“Mikhail? Well, now… … You're nervous?”
“Is that possible? I was just a little confused because it was my first time seeing this monster.?”
“……Are you weak to bugs??”
I asked out of genuine concern, but Mikhail's eyes widened and he stubbornly denied it..
“No, no?! We, the people of the Kingdom of Vermilion, have griffon blood in our blood! And the gryphon bravely chews up all kinds of bugs! I can also chew and eat bugs raw.!”
“Well, you don't have to eat it.…….”
I tried to calm Mikhail down..
No, I sincerely hope that you will fight well and be in full condition. Safe and brave without any injuries, yes.?
“What is this…….”
“Too big, too many numbers…….”
The other Knights of the Sky Knights also seemed quite embarrassed..
The problem was not that their enemy was a bug monster, but that they were a monster of a size and scale they had never faced before, so they seemed to be appalled..
Most of the Crossroad soldiers who had become accustomed to battle were watching the approaching monster army without any disturbance, but the new soldiers were already trembling and taking a step back..
“You guys... … Why aren't you nervous??”
One of the Knights of the Sky Knights asked one of the Crossroads soldiers in a trembling voice..
Then the Crossroads soldier smiled and answered,.
“This is a bit much. I've dealt with a lot of worse guys..”
The new knights and soldiers gaped. Mikhail also looked at the sky in disbelief..
I was listening to this conversation in the background and burst out laughing. Don't be too surprised, guys..
After you get sick of the specialties here, you will get used to it..
‘That's how everyone becomes a veteran..’
At that time, I heard the scouts shouting loudly..
“They're approaching the intersection.-!”
