Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 66
◈ 066. [STAGE 3] What follows
Crossroads downtown. Temple.
I was brought here early in the morning and am receiving treatment for my left arm..
“I don't know how you got injured like this..”
The R-rated healer, ‘Saint’ Margerita, the head priest here, finished the treatment and bandaged my arm..
“Every bone in my left arm was shattered. Fortunately, first aid was administered with a potion, so it did not lead to fatal injuries..”
Wow.
After tying the cast tightly, Margerita took a step back and let go of my arm..
“Even after treatment is complete, you will not be able to use your left arm like before. You may have reduced grip strength, stiff wrists, or other problems..”
“is it so…….”
I had a bitter taste in my mouth..
000 The cost of a fumble is high. Should I be glad I'm not a combatant?.
“Anyway, it's absolutely stable. Come to the temple once every two days and receive treatment..”
“I understand, saint. thank you.”
After idly wiggling my tightly bound left arm, I asked a question..
“Is Evangeline okay??”
“The injury to your shoulder is a bit serious, but as long as you don't overdo it, it will heal quickly. Because he is so strong.”
After all, is it an SSR grade tank? It can't compare to my weak resilience. No, is it the difference between teenagers and 20s??
I thanked Margherita, put the donations in the donation box as usual, and when I came out, Lucas was standing there..
“…….”
Lucas looked at my left arm in a cast, his face extremely complex. I grinned..
“What did I say? I said my limbs would come back fine... … Ouch ouch!”
This bastard suddenly hit my left arm. Sparks flew before her eyes. Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“It fucking hurts! What are you doing, nigga?!”
“You're not fine, are you? Stop bragging..”
No, does that mean you hit the injured part? If you have any complaints, say it out loud, you idiot.!
I was about to get angry, but Lucas looked like a dog caught in the rain..
“How unreasonable have you been, my lord?…….”
“Ugh.”
Well, don’t make that face! I didn't do anything wrong, but I feel guilty.!
“From now on, never, ever do anything unreasonable like this..”
“Okay, I got it.…….”
I roughly introduced Lucas to him and asked him about the most important issue..
“The defense battle was successfully fought.?”
We had not yet received a proper report on the results of the battle. Lucas nodded his head slowly..
“I couldn't put pressure on my lord, so I did my best to lead..”
“No, it's up to you…….”
Lucas explained to me the general outline of the defensive battle..
It is said that Damian sniped and killed all three magic stone golems within 15 minutes of the start of the battle..
You finished the most troublesome guy so easily? Is this compatibility?……?
Calmly destroy remaining nearby entities over the next 6 hours..
After finishing cleaning up the remaining golems, they were rescued at the villa..
“There was no way to know what kind of damage would be caused if the battle was fought loosely, so rescue was delayed as it was concluded thoroughly. I'm sorry, my lord..”
“What am I sorry for? Well done.”
I patted Lucas on the shoulder and asked cautiously..
“The damage is?”
Lucas looked back at the temple. Soldiers were seen receiving treatment in hospital beds inside..
“14 seriously injured. There are 128 lightly injured people..”
“……The deceased?”
“doesn't exist.”
I stiffened..
Lucas spoke to me once more, emphatically..
“There are no deaths, my lord..”
“……haha.”
For the first time.
This is the first time a stage has been cleared without anyone dying..
Laughter naturally flowed from within. For no reason, I covered my mouth with my hand and hit Lucas with my elbow..
“Good job, Lucas! There are no deaths... … oh my god. you're better than me, man.”
“don't say that.”
Lucas had a serious face.
“While Your Majesty is away... … everyone was anxious.”
“huh? I was anxious because I was worried because I was going alone.?”
“no.”
Lucas lowered his eyes and spat out with difficulty..
“Everyone left here has lost confidence... … I was anxious.”
I blinked. What are you talking about??
“If Your Majesty is by my side, the delusion within me will disappear. Just confidently follow what you are told. But yesterday, as soon as His Majesty left,…….”
Lucas trailed off..
“Everyone, I don't know what to do.…….”
“…….”
Many thoughts passed through my mind..
It would be nice if it was because my commands were accurate and efficient..
Isn’t this an adverse effect of my passive skill, ‘Indomitable Commander’? I had that thought..
‘My passive effect is immunity to mental ailments... … easy.’
I thought it was simply to prevent status ailments inflicted by enemies during battle..
Actually it wasn't. Not only did the people around me not suffer from fear or confusion, but they also became extremely mentally stable..
It seems like just having me by your side makes you feel at peace..
‘No, what kind of aromatherapy am I talking about?.’
But on the other hand, this also means that you will be shaken without me..
‘Doesn’t this just make you more dependent on me?……?’
I'm glad that everyone relies on me. Adverse effects are a matter to consider..
I was drooling. Mmm~
Eh, I don't know right now..
“Anyway, in the end, the stage ended cleanly! No deaths! Me and Evangeline came back alive too.!”
Shouting loudly, I patted Lucas on the back..
“Everything worked out well, Lucas! There's nothing to worry about. From now on I won't have to be alone again.”
“Absolutely, my lord..”
Lucas stared at me with eyes like deep wells..
“I am my lord's bodyguard. From the moment we first met until now, on and on..”
“Uh, yeah…….”
“Don't let me fall. Especially when leaving for a dangerous place..”
Instead of answering, I scratched Lucas' head with my hand. Oh my, my mutt. When the owner goes out once, he gets very anxious and starts acting up..
“What about other party members? Everyone is safe?”
“yes. Everyone is fine. Only Damian's eyes bled a little, probably because he overexerted himself in the latter half of the battle.…….”
“Wow, really?!”
“He said it was okay. I am currently receiving treatment at the temple..”
Well then, that's a relief. I'll have to go see you after treatment..
It feels like everything has been sorted out. I grinned..
“Thank you for your hard work, Lucas..”
“You have also done a great job, my lord. Take a good rest today.”
Lucas pointed towards the castle wall and sighed..
“I wish I could stay close to your side, but my lord will rest in peace if I take care of the cleanup after the defense battle..”
“haha. Please.”
“Yes, my lord. Then later.”
Lucas bowed his head and left for the castle wall..
After watching Lucas walking away, I got into the carriage parked in front of the temple. Ugh, I need to go home and lie down..
***
I clearly won the battle, but the stage clear declaration has not yet appeared..
It seems that among the golems that were smashed near the villa, there are still some crawling around..
This happened because they were stones, not living things..
Soldiers are searching, confirming and killing..
Once the process is over and every last one has been defeated, a stage clear declaration will appear..
‘Maybe it will end today.’
Manor house. courtyard garden.
I'm sitting in the neatly decorated pavilion, soaking up the sunlight..
It certainly looks like spring is approaching. The day is quite warm.
I'm still dozing off under the sun because of the fatigue that hasn't gone away yet..
“Instead of doing this here, why don't you go in and sleep??”
A grumpy voice was heard..
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Evangeline. Standing in the courtyard with her entire body bandaged and even her crutches.
“If you think about your age, you might get sick from the cold..”
“No, no matter how old I am, I am still treated like a grandfather. Are you bragging about being a teenager??”
This is absurd. Anyway, young people these days... … Wow.
“Sssssha.”
Evangeline came across the garden and sat down next to me..
The girl's platinum hair shines like gold dust in the spring sunlight..
Since gold is an SSR grade color, just seeing it sparkle makes me feel good without realizing it..
……Is this a golden omnipotence??
“I never thought I would wake up alive. It's amazing.”
Evangeline opened her eyes and looked at the sun in the southern sky, then shrugged her shoulders..
“I thought I would never see this sunlight again.”
“I'm sorry that something like this happened to you on a day when you could barely make up your mind to leave..”
This stage was a series of surprises. I never thought I would suffer this much..
“Receive all treatment and recover slowly. Rest as much as you want and then leave..”
“I don't want to leave.”
“……what?”
My heart sank at the sudden sound..
I turned to face Evangeline. But the girl's small face is determined.
“I thought about it all last night. I would like to inherit the title of Margrave..”
“you… … You know what that means.?”
I said urgently.
“It means that you will inherit the responsibilities of the Cross family. It means you have to protect this place for the rest of your life.!”
“i know.”
“Your father wanted you to get out of here. I wanted you to be free to live as you wanted.”
“I'm sorry, but I haven't completely forgiven my dad yet. Going against my father's will is the last disloyal thing I can do..”
Evangeline shook her head slightly..
“Because I am a tree frog.”
I laughed helplessly. This guy…….
“Seniors. I am… … I want to understand my dad.”
Evangeline turned her gaze to the southern wall in the distance..
“How my father felt at that time. Dad's thoughts. Dad's actions. I still don't know.”
Where his father once stood and protected.
The girl's gaze looking at the front line is firm..
“If I were to be in the same position as my father, I would understand a little more. The inner thoughts of that foolishly honest old man…….”
“…….”
“So, I'm sorry to repeat what I said, but!”
Evangeline smiled wickedly..
“I want to inherit the title and get the authority over the territory back. As the rightful heir to the Cross family..”
“Evangeline…….”
“The people’s resentment and responsibility that you are trying to shoulder… … I will carry it with you too..”
Evangeline pointed to herself confidently..
“I keep saying things like this with my mouth. He is the head of the academy. I fight pretty well.”
That's right. Because it is the highest dignity SSR grade..
“I will grow taller in the future. It'll be much cooler.”
It will happen. A few years later, you will become a tall knight..
“Above all, you will become stronger than you are now. Both as a knight and as a person.”
okay. After learning the ultimate skill through the 3rd job advancement and equipped with an upgraded set of exclusive equipment, you truly become the strongest tank..
“So, just say one word..”
“a word?”
“Let's fight together in the future.”
Evangeline stood up and came to stand in front of me..
He is also short in height. Standing proudly, you look like a knight..
“Then, I will protect this city together by your side..”
“…….”
The most powerful character among SSR-class tanks, Evangeline Cross..
I am asking you to accept me as a party member first..
There wouldn't be a player anywhere in the world foolish enough to refuse this..
I smiled back at Evangeline, who was smiling confidently..
“no.”
“haha. is it so. Please take care of me too... … yes?”
“I don't like it.”
Evangeline's eyes widened..
It's a face that says I never dreamed I'd be rejected..
I shouted, sticking my index finger in front of the girl knight's face..
“This city is already mine. I can't give it back!”
No, I'm serious..
How much effort did you put into it to spit it out?! am i crazy?!
