Became a tyrant of defense games (Episode 626)
◈ 626. [Free exploration] Thorn Tree Road
In this raid, a large number of different races, which can be said to be one of the main forces of the monster front, have been eliminated..
It's not that they're unsuitable for raids, but the four people who can be said to be representatives of each race are now avatars for each race god..
Unable to control his overflowing power, he collapsed and suffered greatly. At this rate, it is impossible to make a sortie.
‘Chosen One of the race god, it wasn't even in the game.…….’
I'm not sure about the specs or operation method yet. So it was excluded from power for now. I'll see you later when I recover a bit..
So, the list of heroes participating in this battle is... … Based on martial arts competitions, it is as follows:.
main party.
Guys.
Scary sisters (the name was replaced with a Knights Templar priest)).
Glory Knights.
Dragon Blood Knights.
In addition, two additional parties that showed excellent performance in the martial arts competition were organized. These two parties will stand in the rear as a reserve and monitor the situation. If I have time, I will invest it..
“The 25 people participating in this raid will reorganize their party according to each role..”
I reorganized the 25 people into 1 melee tank party, 2 melee damage tank parties, 1 melee dealer party, and 1 ranged fireteam party..
At this time, Lucas, who was quietly watching the situation, spoke to me carefully..
“Sir, the current configuration feels a bit unbalanced..”
“…….”
“We don't have enough fireteams. Would you mind??”
Simply put, the number of long-distance dealers is small..
The number of archers (snipers) and wizards is far insufficient compared to melee units..
Dragon Raid has a special situation compared to other monster battles. He's big and powerful..
All patterns are wide-area judgments, which means there is a high probability that allies will be swept away by even the slightest movement..
It can be said that the basis of Dragon Raid is for the long-ranged fire team to steadily accumulate damage while attracting the enemy's attention with an appropriate number of melee units. I've been teaching that way too..
But this time, there are only four close parties, so Lucas might be embarrassed..
“You're right, Lucas. If it's a standard raid, it would be better to adjust the ratio..”
I grinned..
“But this time, I'm planning to use a little trick. This configuration is appropriate.”
“Ah, indeed…….”
Lucas' face brightened at the mention of my trick. Since you've seen all my bizarre tricks, it seems like you naturally trust me..
‘Should I have called it a strategy and not a trick?……?’
Anyway, there was no need to delay, so I told everyone about this trick I would use in this raid..
Those going out and those waiting, everyone listened intently..
Several hours had passed since all the detailed tactical meetings and discussions were over..
Finally Lucas asked.
“So, when is the departure, my lord??”
“three days later.”
I nodded heavily..
“After training with the new formation, they immediately leave for the enemy camp. Let’s all prepare diligently.”
Then I pointed to one of the heroes with the tip of my wand..
“Take care of Violet.”
The other members of the gambling club, and Lily, who had tried to run away several times before, let out a yes sound..
Violet made a sound with a blank face while her entire body was being held captive..
“This damn life…….”
I chuckled..
Although they say so, Violet is also working hard on the front line here... … It was because I knew very well that I had become a worthy warrior..
***
three days later.
west of the city. grave site.
Candler's funeral was held..
The funeral was held on a small scale. But the number of people who flocked was by no means small..
The people Candler connected with as a mercenary, and the people he connected with when he worked at the production union. And those who know her miracles…….
Many people gathered to watch her coffin being buried in the ground. Some cried, some were resolute, and some suppressed their emotions in silence..
“…….”
The flag of the World Defense Front - A coffin wrapped in a black flag without any pattern was placed under the ground, and I personally placed white flowers on top of the coffin..
Nobody and Chain, dressed in mourning clothes, picked up a shovel and sprinkled dirt on the coffin..
After the ceremony has progressed and the choir's singing and gunfire have died down,.
I do not stand on a podium, but stand shoulder to shoulder in a circle of people, and instead of making grand speeches or eloquence... … I bowed my head and recited a poem..
I don't find a path without thorns
I don't ask for the sadness to go away
I don’t just look for days when the sun shines.
I also don't want to stay in the summer sea
Just an eternal day in the sun
The green of the earth withers away
If there are no tears in time
The heart closes the peak of hope
This was also a poem mourning Candler's death, and at the same time.
It was also a sign for the upcoming battle with the Black Dragon Corps..
“let's go.”
The 25-member attack team and 10-member reserve unit took off their mourning uniforms at once and put on prepared armor and equipment..
In the lead, I hung the flag on the flagpole a little lower than usual. Like raising the flag.
I don't know if this fits the etiquette of this world. It may be in keeping with Earth's etiquette..
But what's important is the meaning I put in it.
Waving the black flag down - I declared to my heroes.
“To our thorn tree path.”
***
“Are you going?.”
Manor house. backyard.
The emperor was waiting in front of the teleport gate..
I nodded and answered.
“Yes, Abama.”
“From what I heard, you could really die in this battle..”
“It was like that every time.”
I fought for the fate of the world.
There has never been a time when I didn't give up my life..
“Haha.”
The emperor swallowed a smile with an unknown meaning and looked at me intently..
“Originally, it should have been the opposite, but... … While you fight for your life, I will let this father plan his future here..”
It's natural.
If we perish under the lake.
Then the only person I can entrust the world to is this man, the emperor..
Even if the Crossroads falls, if there is a commander who will push the front to the north and continue to resist to the end, it will be the Emperor..
“Please take care of the land, Abama.”
“The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it becomes. Normally, the father would take the initiative and the son would plan the future.…….”
Of course, my intention to go to battle did not change, and the emperor did not try to change my mind..
“Have you reached a conclusion??”
The emperor suddenly asked.
The question asked of me during the festival was probably a conclusion to that ordeal..
I hesitated for a moment.
And behind me, Dusk Bringer and Hecate, and again… … After looking at the other heroes with solemn expressions, I answered..
“……Not yet.”
“okay.”
When I answered that I was still thinking about it, the emperor nodded calmly and asked:.
“Do you remember what I told you before??”
“What do you mean?.”
“The road is everywhere, everywhere, if you have the will to find it..”
It was a conversation between father and son that we met when we were captives in the spirit world..
“I remember. So she told me to wander around as much as I wanted. The road will definitely be at the end.”
The emperor smiled at my words..
“okay. I don’t need to say it one more time. Feel free to wander, son..”
“…….”
“It's okay to be anywhere, in the dark or in the light. No matter where you are, that too is life..”
After saying that, the emperor made way..
“Come back.”
“Yes, Abama.”
I showed courtesy and gave a simple order to my heroes..
“enter!”
“yes-!”
We walked into the wide open teleportation gate..
Because the darkness we must head towards is there..

[Now Loading… … Teleporting.]
[Tip – There are various gimmicks available in Dragon Raid. Actively utilize gimmicks to lower the difficulty of the attack.!]
No, how old is this tip post? Ader, have you regained your strength??
I burst out laughing at the unexpectedly well-timed tip post..
It was an obvious story, but I still felt like he wanted to help me.…….
The tight tension eased just a little..
flashing!
***
The headquarters of the Black Dragon Corps, the so-called Dragon Lair, are all located in Area 9..
It seems that Night Bringer has taken control of area 10, but the remaining five are all busy in their own rares..
Among them, 'Black Dragon's Claw' - Parekhian's rare is located in the outermost area of District 9..
“It's incredibly busy.…….”
Evangeline muttered in a dazed voice..
It wasn't just Evangeline. All the heroes who entered here together are looking around in confusion and admiration..
The 'district' of the Lake Kingdom refers to the depth of the dungeon, and the number increases as you move towards the center of the city..
6It is presumed to have been a residence for the noble class from the beginning, and the deeper you go, the more people of higher social class seem to have lived there..
The place we are in now is District 9.
Now you can see the royal castle in the very center of District 10, right in the center of the Lake Kingdom..
Although it is completely immersed in darkness, even a quick look shows that it is a frighteningly developed city. To be honest, I think it's more flashy than Ecliptic New Terra..
‘When I was drifting in the past, I only hung around in District 10.’
A memory of wandering around District 10 with Succubus Queen Salome suddenly came to mind..
At that time, you could only enter the road connecting Districts 10 and 9 - the bridge. I vividly remember falling down the bridge while trying to cross the bridge to get out of District 9..
There was a village underneath the bridge, and there were people living there..
‘When will all 9 areas be conquered?…….’
I looked at the bridge at the far end of District 9. And I glanced at the darkness flowing beneath the bridge..
‘Will I be able to join the people in the village at the bottom?.’
The bottom village is connected to Area 1's 'Dry Drain' by a drainage ditch. It's a kind of shortcut, a shortcut..
I tried this short cut entry a long time ago, but the heroes I sent out to scout got lost in the maze-like tangled drainage ditch and almost got shipwrecked, so I gave up for now..
I don't think it will be easy to enter through shortcut unless an NPC from the bottom village guides you directly..
9It would be more stable to occupy all the areas and meet them calmly..
“…….”
Suddenly, the faces of the people who fought with me at that time came to mind..
Salome, Mason, Sword Demon, Spear Demon…….
Eventually, I shook my head and came to my senses..
‘First of all, it's Dragon Raid..’
There are a lot of worries and twisted threads that need to be sorted out..
I believe that if you solve the things in front of you step by step, you will always be able to reach a complete conclusion at the end..
I decided to focus on the task at hand: the dragon raid. In fact, this alone is a huge enough crisis. It's a risk you have to risk your life for..
We slowly crossed the dark street in formation..
Perhaps because the Night Bringer declared a truce, there are no monsters flooding in and the Lake Kingdom is quiet. It is said that the scouting party sent earlier also found nothing..
Still, we walked carefully without letting our guard down, and eventually arrived at our destination..
The National Police Agency in Korea on Earth is responsible for the security administration of the Lake Kingdom... … Is it the same place?.
The sixth member of the Black Dragon Legion, Claw Parekian, played his rare here..
I looked back and nodded, and the heroes nodded in unison with nervous faces..
“enter.”
“enter!”
It was when we were rushing into the police headquarters..
“for a moment!”
A sonorous voice came from behind. Surprised, everyone turned around and raised their weapons..
On the other side of the street, the one who appeared through the darkness... … It was none other than an unknown person..
Everyone was relieved and lowered their weapons. I smiled because I was happy to see it..
“cotton!”
“We're together, Ash..”
Myung-myeong lightly approached me, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the closed door of the magistrate's office..
“Above all, to enter a place like this... … It would be better for me to be with you..”
A magical pattern appeared on the back of an anonymous hand.,
Kugugoogung Palace-!
The lock on the magistrate's office was unlocked, and the rusty door began to slowly open left and right..
She is the royal family of the Lake Kingdom. You have the right to enter any facility..
“Thank you, I'll take good care of you.”
Everyone's expressions brightened as if they had won a thousand soldiers, but Anonymous's face was serious..
“As you probably know, there is a member of the Black Dragon Corps in here. They are so cruel and vicious that they cannot be compared to any other monster..”
“…….”
“Never let your guard down. got it?”
I nodded silently, and Unknown took a deep breath and took the lead..
After passing through the entrance of the Public Safety Office, a large landscaped garden first appeared before entering the main building..
The soil is black and rotten, and there is no sign of life on the dried trees..
And, on the wide platform leading from the garden to the main building of the Public Safety Office.…….
The black, huge dragon was lying down..
