Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 554
◈ 554. [[Evil Side] Impregnable (3)
《Do you know why we are the 13th highest ranked corps??》
The leader of the Corrupt Knights, Corrupt King Pendragon, asked:.
The large knight sitting on the skull throne had an innate noble spirit. Little Devil Imp Law swallowed his dry saliva without realizing it..
《No, I don't know.》
《Because I like the number 13.》
Pendragon gave an odd reason and swept his hand across the helmet covering his face..
《I really like the number 13. 13 Best. 13 awesome. 13 It's so cool.》
《…….》
《So the number of our knights is exactly thirteen. The number of stairs leading up to this chapel is thirteen. The founding date of the Knights Templar is also Friday the 13th.…….》
Pendragon, who had been praising 13 for a while, lowered his evil voice..
《So the corps ranking was intentionally left at 13th. I could have gone higher if I wanted to, but.》
《Is that so?…….》
《I know why I'm telling you this.?》
I have no idea.
Law shook his head. Pendragon laughed..
《Monster bastards who call themselves the commanders of the Nightmare Corps and rank up to 10th in rank. Those bastards who each claim to be kings.》
《…….》
《I can tear all of those bastards to pieces with a single blow of my sword. If we had our way, the entire internal order of the monster army here in the Lake Kingdom would have changed..》
Then go up. Why are you stuck here just wiping your teeth?.
I thought to myself, but Law said, “Sure, sure,” and flattered me. Pendragon continued..
《We, the Fallen Knights, are strong enough to stand on our own. That's why I have pride. I have pride and ideals..》
《…….》
《When they tell me to go to war now, I'm not in a position where I'm so disappointed that I just say "Okay, I'll do it" and run out with my tail wagging..》
It was a long talk, but in the end.
《In this situation, the King of Kings did not give a direct order, but he sent just one messenger and ordered them to march out while shaking the scepter. I thought it was good and I would go to war.?》
It meant that he did not like this situation, where the Demon King did not come directly, but a small devil imp like Law came instead and ordered the advance..
《I will refuse to go out..》
《…….》
《If you want to order us to march, at least the commander of the Guardian Corps will have to come..》
Pendragon waved his hand as if he had finished speaking. It was a congratulatory message..
The adjutant who came with Law gave an expression of 'Of course, that's right-' and turned around first. But Law took a breath, then inhaled.,
《also. I see you are scared, King of Corruption.?》
Suddenly he threw a provocation..
The startled adjutant flinched and looked back at Law. And only then did Pendragon properly glare at Law..
《……what? What did you say just now??》
《Guardian of royalties - I asked if I was afraid of that man named 'Ash'..》
Law crossed his arms cheekily. His tail was trembling invisibly, but his voice was calm..
《Otherwise, there is no reason to reject the goal everyone hopes for: the destruction of royalties..》
And Pendragon reacts to this provocation……
bang!
……was very weak.
Sure enough, Pendragon jumped out of his seat and shouted..
《Don't be funny! I am the Fallen King! I am not afraid of anything in the world!》
《Don't make excuses. The Fallen King is actually the guardian of that royal family... … Aren't you afraid of the fortress city that the guardian protects??》
Rowe continued his provocation with full sarcasm..
《You must have been frightened after hearing the rumor about that high and mighty castle wall, which was destroyed after being attacked by numerous monsters and their kings. So, you're just making excuses and refusing..》
visor-!
Pendragon's great sword came out of its sheath at once. A magic sword overflowing with evil energy was aimed at Law's neck..
《Do you really want to die, imp??》
《You don't have the courage to attack King Inse, but do you have the courage to kill me, the agent of the King of Kings? I didn't know that the sword of the person known as the Fallen King had a strong anger management disorder..》
The great sword thrown by the Fallen King flew towards Law..
Tsukaaaak!
The flying greatsword grazed Law's cheek and then stuck in the wall behind him. Law stood still in his place without even blinking..
‘……Fuck, I almost peed..’
Of course, it was just that I was frozen and couldn't move..
The provocation was successful. It was because Pendragon was yelling loudly..
《Oh no! good night! Let’s go to war. I'll show you! This corrupted king! We are the 13 Fallen Knights! I will prove that I am stronger than anyone else.!》
Then Law shook his head..
《I don't like it.》
《what……?!》
《I said I didn't like it. You have already rejected this scepter's command, so there is no second chance..》
Rowe jerked back..
《As you wish, I will pretend that the departure never happened. And there will never be any more in the future. Well then, that's it.》
Rowe is trying to leave the chapel with short steps..
thud! Kugu Palace……!
The fallen knights, whose massive bodies moved like lightning, blocked Law's path..
When Law looked back again in awe, Pendragon slowly sat down on the throne and spoke in an orderly voice..
《I underestimated him so much because he was so petty. Acting authority. He's more powerful than he looks.》
《…….》
《I apologize. So please allow me to go to war. And, don't try to bend me any further..》
Clap!
Pendragon put his great sword into its scabbard and growled..
《After this, I'm really going to be the acting president and everything..》
At this level, I think I won the tug of war for leadership..
Law nodded slowly..
《I give you permission to march, King of Corruption. Instead, there are conditions..》
《condition? what?》
《You must follow my instructions from now on. More specifically, prior to departure…….》
Law was naturally giving instructions to Pendragon..
《A scouting party from the royal family who are exploring the darkness of the Lake Kingdom as if they were visiting their own home. Please don't capture them alive..》
《This corrupted king does not attack the enemy's main base directly, but directly finds and kills the human scouts wandering around like flies.?》
《Serve to catch bigger fish.》
Law explained in detail..
《The guardian of royalties and its fortress are strong. We must have a means of shaking things up to somehow create a gap. Capturing the scouts is part of that..》
《I'd like to say that there's no need for me or my knights, but... … . Good. Do as instructed.》
Pendragon ground his teeth..
《But be prepared, little agent..》
《…….》
《After I cut the royal guardians to pieces and tore down their walls... … I will personally rip you out of the mouth that said that arrogant thing.!》
bang!
Rowe and his deputy were kicked out, and the chapel door was slammed shut..
The adjutant, who quickly ran down the thirteen stairs, looked back at Law with a surprised face..
《It doesn't seem that way, but surprisingly, it does happen when you do it.?》
《Well, I was surprised too, what kind of courage did you have to do that?…….》
Law came down the stairs with trembling legs, placed his scepter on the floor, and the corners of his mouth trembled..
《Anyway, that's it. Now, are the fallen knights doing their job properly? … All you have to do is go watch the capture of Inse's scouting party.!》
***
Lake Kingdom Area 7.
People holding torches are carefully crossing the dark streets..
Royalty's scout party - It was a party of 5 heroes..
Between stages. A reconnaissance detachment dispatched during the free exploration period. On Inse's side, they were carrying out an operation called autonomous exploration..
“…….”
“…….”
They walked carefully through the streets of the Lake Kingdom, shrouded in silence..
Currently, Ash's 'occupation' of the Lake Kingdom dungeon has ended from areas 1 to 6. succeeded in driving out the darkness.
But this wasn't necessarily a good thing..
In low-depth dungeons, weaker monsters appear, making it easier for inexperienced heroes to train..
However, the current situation was that we had to start from the high depth of Area 7..
In addition, dungeon exploration also serves as a reconnaissance to figure out what monsters will be in the next stage..
7Now that we have to start exploration from the area, the difficulty of this reconnaissance has also jumped significantly..
Therefore, the role of those who went on the first autonomous exploration between stages was important..
They were made up of veterans skilled in the monster front..
The Fairy Queen's personal guard, the Fairy Scouts, includes 1 elf archer, 1 dwarf warrior, 1 beastman warrior, and 2 human wizards..
They were five people of different races and affiliations, but as they suffered together on the battlefield, they soon stopped caring about such things and became experts at scouting missions..
And, there was another person walking ahead of this party of five..
It was a muscular man wearing an animal mask - a jackal..
5The owner of the local dungeon ‘Fiery Colosseum’ and the dungeon boss who was once called the Gladiator King..
And now he is Ash's direct subordinate, leading the independently organized Taming Monster Corps..
Based on his experience of living in dungeons for a long time, Jackal was assisting the scouting party dispatched from Crossroads with the first scouting mission of each stage..
These six people had scouted out this hell together several times, and were now walking very skillfully through the darkness of the dungeon..
“It's quiet..”
“Iknow, right. I feel quieter than usual.”
“At this point, a monster or two might pop out.…….”
“Do I really need to enter the dungeon?.”
6People looked at each other and nodded..
No monsters could be seen on the streets of the Lake Kingdom, immersed in darkness. Since reconnaissance would not work like this, I thought I would have to enter a nearby dungeon..
The jackal took the lead and raised the torch..
“The dungeon may be empty because there are only a small number of monsters in this defense battle... … Anyway, let's go check it out..”
6In entered a narrow alley. It was to head to the nearest dungeon..
Gradually.
And after entering the alley and walking a few steps, the jackal felt something caught on his toes..
“hmm?”
When I looked down curiously, I saw some metal objects rolling under my feet..
No, it wasn't just metal..
“……?!”
It was a scythe with a black blade..
And in the darkness right in front of me, something huge.
Lying flat on the floor, holding out the scythe forward like an antenna... … Waiting for prey to approach.
Tsukaak!
A huge scythe swung and gnawed at the floor..
“damage to all-!”
Shouting, the jackal jumped up from his place with animal sense..
But unfortunately, other heroes were not as astute..
Deng Geng-!
The ankles of five heroes were severed by a scythe swung with great power..
“……?!”
“Ugh?!”
“nice-”
“What is this-”
“Ahhhhh!”
Before each of the five heroes could even let out a scream,
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Clap! Cheolkeong!
Wriggling tentacles and chains with blood spikes flew in and bound the heroes.,
Shoot ahhh!
Clap! Cheolpuk-!
A thick blood mist and an unidentifiable, terrible slimy liquid poured down on the heroes' heads..
The five heroes, trapped and incapacitated by their own means, were bound and tied to the wall and floor. Blood pouring out from my ankles.
《Kihi. Kihihihihi.》
The fallen knight who had made the first attack, lying prone on the floor, crawled forward in a hurry, picked up the severed feet of the heroes on the floor, and swallowed them in one gulp..
《it's good. delicious. Yum yum yum yum yum.》
Seeing this knight swallowing their severed feet as if it was completely natural, the five subdued heroes had a hunch..
It was caught wrongly. Even if it hangs wrong, it hangs very firmly..
These kids are no ordinary monsters.……!
It was then.
Wow!!
Another newly appeared Corrupt Knight struck the back of the Corrupt Knight's head as he swallowed hard..
《this guy! Have you lost all chivalry?!》
The king of the fallen knights - the corrupted king, Pendragon. Pendragon, who hit his subordinate's head, let out a snarl..
《Haven't I always said that? Divide the delicious food into 13 pieces.!》
《Kihi, kihihi, sorry. Sorry. Yum yum yum yum.》
The fallen knight who was hit on the head repeatedly bowed his head, but did not stop swallowing voraciously..
Pendragon sighed and pulled out his great sword. and shouted.
《It has to be shared equally, fairly! Because all of our knights are equal.!》
He then placed his great sword on the severed foot. As if the great sword were a meat cleaver.
Taking the pose of a chef, the king of knights gave a speech in a polluted voice..
《Do you understand, gentlemen? I like 13. Before eating a human being, be sure to cut it into 13 pieces.!》
