Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 602
◈ 602. [Side Story] Vacation
next day. Manor house. office.
“festival?”
Dusk Bringer came to see me and made a puzzled expression..
“Did you say it's a festival now??”
“You have good ears, so why are you pretending not to understand? yes. It's a festival.”
I answered calmly, but Dusk Bringer's embarrassed face became even deeper..
fall festival.
Not only in the Everblack Empire, but also in almost every country around the world… … A festival similar to Earth's Chuseok or Thanksgiving.
In the Everblack Empire, this festival is held for three days around September, from the waning of the moon to the waning of the moon..
It's interesting that it's the exact opposite of Korea's Chuseok, which is celebrated on the full moon. As the name suggests, it is a dark country..
‘1During the annual fall festival, a martial arts competition and a dance festival were held..’
I remember Serenade setting up a stall so people could enjoy various activities. Did Dusk Bringer first come to Crossroads then?.
2During my first year, my return from being plunged into the spirit world was delayed, and as soon as I returned, I left for New Terra to fight the ecliptic battle, so I couldn't take care of it properly..
This time it's the season. This year, you will be able to fully enjoy the fall festival..
‘The battle to defend Lord of the Flies has been over since the end of the year... … There's less left than I thought.’
It's already been a few days since the Lord of the Flies was defeated. There's just over 3 weeks left until next New Year's Eve..
As I was calculating the remaining days, Dusk Bringer slammed his two small hands on my desk! I hit it. Oh, I'm surprised. Why are you doing this?.
“What on earth are you doing now? festival? Speaking of festivals, the Night Bringer is coming.……!”
“There's nothing I can do right now anyway..”
I put my hands clasped behind my head, crossed my legs and placed them on my desk..
“Everyone is exhausted from the continuous fighting that has been going on. It's better to rest comfortably when monsters aren't attacking you..”
“but!”
“The people, the city, everything is in tatters. Let's recover well while the enemy declares a ceasefire..”
There is rarely a time when you can just make up your mind and rest like this..
I can’t even remember the last time I had peace of mind, laid down my weapons, and rested comfortably..
In the meantime, everyone was in a state of extreme tension as they continued to engage in defensive battles and explore freely..
It's time to let go. I hope everyone can just relax and not think about anything for a while..
“……Yes, it's good to take a break. Let’s say you make a hundred concessions and even hold a festival..”
A dragon lady who is more wary of the Night Bringer than anyone else in this city, and who inherits the blood of a red dragon who fights against a black dragon - Dusk Bringer shouted sharply..
“But you have to be prepared! This means that the black dragon is planning to invade Inse! You're not going to just say you don't know me and play around.?”
“…….”
“Aren’t we going to have to fight a defensive battle in two months? Is there a way to stop him??”
I spoke honestly..
“doesn't exist.”
“What?”
“Defensive warfare is impossible. We are sure to lose.”
Dusk Bringer looked blank in response to my answer. He has a face that says he never thought I would say something like this before we even started fighting..
I explained quietly.
“First of all, the southern wall cannot be repaired in two months..”
So far, only a partial collapse of the Crossroads wall has occurred..
Whether it's damaged by the ghost knight's great sword, split by the vampire general's axe, or collapsed by the goblin army's self-destruction... … Anyway, the basic framework remained..
So emergency repairs were possible..
But this time it's different.
The southern wall itself was completely swept away. It was swept away by the fall of Lord of the Flies and collapsed, and was reduced to powder by the subsequent self-destruction..
This cannot even be called a ruin. It has returned to nothingness.
Must be built from the beginning.
Even if you have magical construction technology brought from the Lake Kingdom, it can't be done in two months..
“And in fact, even if the castle wall is intact, it is far from being able to block the black dragon..”
Even if you pour in manpower and resources to complete the reconstruction of the walls,.
In the face of the black dragon's transcendent power, most heroes and soldiers cannot even properly resist..
If you enter the battlefield, you will all burn to death in front of a different level of power..
This was confirmed by data from the game. In a battle with a black dragon, the numbers on this side have no meaning..
In this situation, there is no need to keep all troops tight. It's better to give yourself some breathing room..
“Two months later, if the black dragon advances to the Crossroads... … I can't stop it. Crossroads will burn, Royalty will perish..”
“…….”
“So, there is no reason to rebuild the walls while urging people to die. There is no need for heroes and soldiers to train to death. Even if we fight defensively, we will all be wiped out and die anyway..”
“So what are you going to do??”
Dusk Bringer, who was just looking at me in astonishment, gritted his teeth..
“Are you going to sit back and give up your head when monsters come??”
“……no.”
I let out a long sigh, adjusted my posture and sat straight in the chair..
“I can't do that, Archduke. I won't give up until the last moment.”
“if? What are you going to do??”
“I'm going to attack you.”
Now put your elbows on the desk and cover your mouth with your clasped hands..
I exhaled coldly..
“To kill the black dragon. Below the Lake Kingdom.”
“……!”
Dusk Bringer's shoulders trembled..
okay. This is how I beat the black dragon I established in the game.
Give up the unwinnable defensive battle and switch to an offensive battle..
Invade the evil dragon's stronghold and cut off its head..
This was it from the beginning.
“The black dragon... … It is something other than the standard. He is someone who is far outside the ranks. I know because I met you.”
“…….”
“Do you really have the means to kill him??”
“Of course there is.”
Immediately after speaking with full bravado, I changed my words in front of Dusk Bringer's pointed gaze. Hehehe!
“……I don't have it right now, but I know what to use to hurt it..”
Although it is a transcendent being, it is by no means invincible. You can harm him in many ways..
Among them, the strategy I have established is to attack him directly with equipment that can be obtained through any route..
‘High-end boss equipment. In other words, even Nightmare Slayer can hit him. But a more effective weapon than that is…….’
I called its name.
“Dragon Slayer).”
“……!”
This word, meaning dragon slayer, also means a weapon that kills dragons..
It also refers to a weapon made by killing a dragon and using it..
There is a way to definitely get this.
“Among the Black Dragon Corps, the only one who is fully called a 'black dragon' is the Night Bringer, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any members..”
It is a black dragon corps, but why is only the Night Bringer called the ‘black dragon’?.
That's because, except for the Night Bringer, the rest are not as perfect as their lords. Should I call it a black dragon?.
‘Even though the rest of them are really strong too.’
The Night Bringer didn't go as far as that bastard. If we can somehow pull our brains together and struggle, our current squad will be worthy of catching it..
‘When I first visited the 'Fiery Colosseum', I killed the Black Dragon's Daughter..’
Well, if you look at that guy, his blood was as diluted as it could be, and he was only the lowest level member of the Black Dragon Corps..
Anyway, the explanation was lengthy. To summarize the conclusion.
“Okay then, Ash. your plan…….”
“yes.”
I explained calmly..
“I will kill the members of the Black Dragon Legion except for the Night Bringer, make armor from their bones and skin, and forge weapons from the magic core..”
“……!”
“Then, we will select the best fighters who can kill the Night Bringer, equip them with the equipment, and attack below the lake to kill them..”
This is the general strategy I will use to face the Black Dragon Army. It was a standard tactic..
‘Of course, this alone is not enough…….’
Somehow, we have to secure more and more means..
More time is needed to secure this ‘means’… … It's a situation where I have to wait one way or another..
“Now you know what plan I have in mind.?”
“…….”
“Ultimately, it is our elite who are fighting according to this strategy, and they all need recovery..”
I looked at the bandages wrapped around Dusk Bringer’s body. Even this dragon lady was injured. What can I say about the status of the rest of the heroes?.
“We've been fighting for too long, we're too tired, we've been fighting too much... … I lost it.”
“…….”
“You need time to rest, Archduke..”
3 weeks and a little more.
Until the festival, I was planning to give the heroes and soldiers a vacation..
There is a high probability that this will be the last vacation the World Defense Front will enjoy..
After this... … Whether we defeat the black dragon or not, we will have to fight until the moment when the destruction of the world truly comes..
“You don't need to worry too much. Because I won’t just cover it up and let it rest. Do you think I'm such a good team owner? I am a very evil lord..”
“…….”
“We will steadily proceed with the reconstruction of the castle walls, and also conduct basic training for heroes and soldiers. It means loosening up a bit, it doesn't mean giving up everything and having fun..”
Dusk Bringer looked at me with sunken amber eyes. I laughed bitterly..
“However, at least in my heart. I need to let it all go and rest. So we decided to hold a festival..”
“…….”
“Now that you've had a look inside my head, guess what? Are you still not satisfied, Archduke??”
Dusk Bringer let out a long sigh and…….
He smiled, showing his sharp teeth..
“ash. Do you remember the promise we made before??”
“yes? It's a promise.?”
“Over control of the front here, Gwain and Gwain's five members of the SS... … And you and five of your SS. We were supposed to compete like this, right?.”
“iced coffee.”
This was the story I told when Dusk Bringer was first brought to the front here..
We decided to compete for command of the monster front here. When refugees from the Bringer Principality were accepted here, Dusk Bringer was the first to give up, so it became a muddled story..
“But then why was that agreement made?……?”
“let's do it.”
“yes?”
“Let’s fulfill that promise.”
slap-
The Dragon King of the Sunset declared, spreading his slender bandaged arm to the side..
“I declare war, young prince.!”
“……!”
“Vacation until the festival, nice. Gwain, Gwain's knights, and Gwain's soldiers are also exhausted. I hope you enjoy your vacation to the fullest. I will not argue further on this issue. however!”
Dusk Bringer's dragon eyes glowed fiercely..
“After that, when going down to the Lake Kingdom... … When killing the black dragon army's thugs and attacking the Night Bringer's stronghold. I should take command at that time..”
“…….”
“The wine is Dusk Bringer. They are mortal enemies intertwined with the black dragon by fate, and enemies of Cheolcheonji who must fight and kill each other. The command to kill the black dragon should be given by Gwain..”
Why?.
Dusk Bringer is declaring war on me with a stronger stance than ever before..
“Commander of the World Defense Front. With the transfer of command, this Dragon King of the Sunset formally challenges you.!”
He looked smaller and weaker than ever before..
“…….”
After glancing at the silver crown on her head, which had been ruined unsightly by the black dragon's attack,.
I nodded slowly..
“great. Dragon Lady. I accept the challenge..”
Immediately afterwards I grinned.
“I guess this is… … It looks like the rules for this fall festival's martial arts competition have been decided..”
5in party. Team PVP.
This fall festival looks like there will be a lot more to see than ever before..
I laughed evilly, still covering my mouth with my clasped hands, and Dusk Bringer also laughed evilly, spreading his arms to the sides..
And then at the same time I stopped laughing.
We glared at each other and growled..
“I will never lose, this bright blue little prince.……!”
“That's what I'm going to say. Your Excellency, I don't know where you spent your time.……!”
Dusk Bringer turned around and stormed out of my office..
As soon as I saw her leaving the mansion, I immediately shouted down the hallway..
“hey! Convene the entire main party immediately!”
Lucas! Damian! Evangeline! Junior! Everything jumped out-!
‘Sounds like a vacation! Cancel everything!’
It's time for hell training, yaaaak-!
