Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 573
◈ 573. [STAGE 35] Find The Way
This history book, which Serenade is said to have brought back after inquiring from a nearby city, is said to belong to nomads in the western desert region..
The cover was so tattered that the title was unrecognizable, and it was difficult to determine the exact year..
Moreover, when I opened it, there was a line of language written in a completely unrecognizable language... … no, how do you read this?
At that time, Diarmudin stepped forward and said, “Ahem.”.
“I am also an expert at deciphering archaic words. Actually, I read it first. There was definitely a reference to Lord of the Flies..”
After all, Ivory Tower owner! It's incredibly helpful in times like this..
The contents of the history book deciphered by Diarmudin are as follows:.
『……A huge fly suddenly appeared across the eastern sea and ate everything, so everyone named it Lord of the Flies..
On the eastern beach, the sea dragons and the kings of the sea united to resist, but they all fell prey to the Lord of the Flies..
The tyranny was so vicious that even the Black Dragon and Red Dragon, who were in the midst of a great war, stopped fighting for a moment and responded together..
The Lord of the Flies is a being born from the union of countless flies, and could be said to be an empire in itself..
The flies gained wisdom and became sharper and stronger with each generation, and the Lord of the Flies, a collection of these flies, seemed to be an invincible being that no one in the world could stop..
Evacuees lined up, and the sound of cries filled the sky..
Countless countries were destroyed and countless tribes were devoured. Even the black dragon and the red dragon couldn't dare stop the Lord of the Flies..
However, soon the situation changed drastically, and the Lord of the Flies split up and began to fight among themselves..
Historians suspected that the problem was that all flies had become overly intelligent over the generations..
The flies that formed the empire called Lord of the Flies rose up with their own ambitions, and ended up killing each other to take over the empire..
The flies revolted among themselves and established a new force, and the body of the Lord of the Flies and his army split into several groups and repeatedly fought and killed each other, and soon their power was greatly reduced..
When the Empire of Paris was divided and weakened, the Black Dragon and Red Dragon attacked and wiped them out. It was exactly one year after the appearance of Lord of the Flies..
The officer discusses this.
Anyone who becomes an emperor must be generous to his vassals and love his people, but if he gives too much, the vassals will inevitably become arrogant, and if he loves too much, the people will inevitably have different feelings..
The Lord of the Flies shared everything with his vassals and generously bestowed his wisdom on the people. This can be said to be the Lord of the Flies' mistake..
Anyone who wants to rule an empire must strictly establish a hierarchy, be wary of vassals, and not give the people more wisdom than necessary.…….』
“……The conclusion is a bit strange, though..”
I decided to ignore the criticism of the officer who was attached to me like a private person..
Anyway, if the contents of this history book are true, in the end, the Lord of the Flies was not defeated by someone because it had a specific weakness.…….
“It's more like they fought among themselves and destroyed themselves..”
“exactly.”
Diarmudin nodded..
“The flies, which had become overly sophisticated in intelligence, became self-conscious and rebelled against the existing system, splitting up and fighting each other, until their power weakened and they disappeared.…….”
Suddenly it occurred to me that they were similar to a typhoon..
It appears suddenly, sweeps the world as it pleases, and naturally disappears after its power gradually weakens.…….
Diarmudin stroked his beard and clicked his tongue..
“In fact, the low-intelligence fly monsters that had not evolved properly at this time survived and have maintained their existence to this day. You could say it's an irony of history..”
No, even this old wizard is criticizing me.…….
‘Anyway, this is very useful information..’
It was information that made me confident in the strategy idea I had come up with after receiving a hint from Dusk Bringer..
‘If the world has been divided for a long time, it will definitely be unified, and if it has been unified for a long time, it will definitely be divided.).’
Like this famous first sentence of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the reason most empires collapse is ultimately division by people with different greed..
Just as the Lord of the Flies also destroyed itself in history, if we could divide them among themselves like this, we could defeat them..
The question is, how to execute it?…….
‘In history, it is said that it took a year for something to become that smart..’
This side cannot afford to wait even a year. We only have 3 days left... … No, now it's just one day and half a day.
We have to force their evolution to accelerate within this short period of time..
If only there was such a way…….
‘The mental control skill I have is?’
[[Mystical Eye of Command] is a skill that forces ‘action’.
‘Not only is something like 'be smarter' impossible, but even if it were possible, it would be extremely difficult and would likely fail..
[Be mine!] can only be used on one target per stage, but it would be nice if it could be applied to the entire Lord of the Flies.……
In the first place, it was a collection of numerous flies. You won't be treated kindly..
No matter how I make a fly my own, there's nothing I can do about it.…….
“…….”
Suddenly, a method occurred to me.
Not only can we force them to evolve, but there is also a way to achieve the goal of 'splitting' even without evolving them to that level..
But I wasn't sure if this method would really work as I intended. Rather, there was a higher probability that it would deviate from my intention..
So it was a moment when I continued to worry..
“majesty!”
I heard a voice calling me urgently. I suddenly looked there.
The soldier who had been giving me only bad news since yesterday was running towards me again, panting. No, it's you again?
“what's the matter!”
“On the second defense line that was under emergency construction,…….”
The soldier who came running out of breath barely managed to catch his breath and exhaled urgently..
“Lord of the Flies is said to be approaching at high speed.!”
“what?”
I was embarrassed and made a stupid noise..
2The car defense line is an urgent defense line that was being built on the second day from Black Lake to Crossroads. He already got there?
“You weren't scheduled to arrive there until tomorrow morning.……?!”
“Well, that was… … It is said that the Lord of the Flies suddenly increased its speed and attacked.……!”
“shit!”
2In the secondary defense line, Junior's [Elemental Dissolution] was used to cut down Lord of the Flies' magic defense, and all magicians belonging to the World Defense Front were supposed to use the tactic of shooting magic at the same time..
“The current situation?”
“All wizards on site have been cast! They say they will respond soon.!”
“this……!”
Taat!
Before I could move, Diarmudin jumped out first, his beard flying..
I handed the history book to Serenade, and without even saying thank you, I just held her hand tightly..
I ran to the teleport gate after Diarmudin..
***
temporary second line of defense.
This place was under urgent construction, and a sloppy exterior wall was being built as cover..
Because it was such a time-consuming task, all of the Crossroads workers were mobilized, and of course Candler, a golem master capable of large-scale construction using golems, was also building the exterior wall..
Coogung, Coogungung…….
While building the outer wall using the golem, Candler glanced at the inside of the outer wall..
Most of the battle wizards of Crossroads were gathered together to draw a magic circle and prepare to use magic..
It was said that everyone who wasn't here had gone to look through history books, and everyone was planning to gather around the time Lord of the Flies hit..
‘This many wizards gathered together?…….’
I also saw a warlock chain standing in the corner with a rotten look on his face..
Chain, who was muttering something, made eye contact with Candler and waved his hand with dark magic, and Candler chuckled..
“…….”
If he hadn't retired, would he have been standing there as a fighter?.
I couldn't figure it out. Candler shook off the meaningless delusion and concentrated on the construction of the exterior wall. He had no time to rest even for a moment because the exterior wall had to be erected by tomorrow morning..
It was then.
Shut up! Shut up! Compactly!
A soldier on a horse from the south came running with a face covered in cold sweat and shouted urgently..
“Alert-! Lord of the Flies is rapidly approaching from the south.!”
“Eh…….”
“I beg your pardon?”
“This is ridiculous, the prediction is tomorrow morning.…….”
Junior asked, quickly casting his magic among the wizards who were buzzing in confusion..
“When will it arrive??!”
“That's incredible speed! maybe in 10 minutes……!”
“Tsk…….”
Junior clicked his tongue and looked around and gave an order..
“All workers, please return to Crossroads! Wizards cast all-out attack magic! Let's do what we prepared!”
“However, none of the other wizards came.……!”
“Still, we have to stop it here.!”
Anyway, Junior, who can be said to be the main axis of this operation, was here..
Junior began casting for [Elemental Deconstruction], and the wizards stood on top of the magic circle and began preparing joint magic..
The workers hesitated, wondering what to do, but then one by one, they looked at the southern sky and started running towards the teleport gate, screaming..
Candler looked there too. And his mouth widened..
Boooooooo……!
In the distant southern sky.
A black figure seemed to be shining, and it was approaching at an incredible speed, cutting through the clouds every moment..
“…….”
Candler stared blankly at the being with trembling eyes..
It looks like Paris, but can it really be called Paris??
The giant, infinite-shaped wings of countless fly monsters are spread out left and right, with hundreds of legs hanging down.…….
It pours out countless flies that make up its body, destroying all the mountains and rivers and vegetation..
The monster was approaching at an incredible speed..
‘Avoid, avoid... … damage…….’
Candler thought, but his trembling legs did not listen..
A nightmare from when I was the Gorgon Sisters flashed through my mind. At that time, I saw the monster running towards me - Stheno and the Lord of the Flies..
“Hee hee hee hee hee hee!”
Candler could not run to the teleport gate and ended up hiding behind the outer wall. And he curled up, wrapped his arms around his head, and trembled..
Boooooooooo……!
The Lord of the Flies' profound roar shook the entire area..
The area was in chaos. The workers running away to the Crossroads through the teleportation gate, and the wizards running out through the gates from the Crossroads.…….
And a pouring swarm of flies.
The sky turned pitch black and an enormous number of flies rained down on the secondary defense line like a shower..
“Whoa whoa……!”
But Junior didn't waver.
Click, click, click-!
The [Lord of Crimson] in her hand transformed arbitrarily, scattering blood-red magic light everywhere..
“Wait, you fly..”
2South, a few hundred meters from the secondary defense line..
Junior drew a magic circle on the ground here in advance..
It was a very large [Elemental Deconstruction] magic circle..
This magic, which he stole from the Vampire King and established as his own, was further strengthened in scope and effect through a magic circle..
“Although its mobility and defense power are lower than that of an airship,…….”
The moment Lord of the Flies reached the void above the magic circle.
Junior shouted and extended his cane forward..
“When it comes to firepower, our wizards are the strongest among mankind.-!”
Whoa whoa-!
A halo of dazzling white light was drawn in the air, and the next moment, a crack widened and a crack appeared in the space..
[Elemental disintegration] exploded all over the Lord of the Flies’ body..
At that moment, even the Lord of the Flies was taken aback..
The monster's large body twitched and urgently slowed down. Junior raised his wand towards the Lord of the Flies and shouted.
“Everyone, jointly cast magic-!”
The wizards formed a circle for each attribute, resonated with each other and pooled their magic, then raised their wands and aimed at the Lord of the Flies..
Junior screamed loudly.
“Sweep it away-!”
Quaaaaaaa!
Fierce flames that seem to engulf the world, high tsunami waves with no end in sight, landslides that seem to turn the world upside down, tornadoes that tear the sky apart, and blinding lightning like the flash of the beginning.…….
They all poured towards Lord of the Flies..
