Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 662
◈ 662. [Side Story] Operation Firefly (2)
《If my father doesn't fall through this operation, what will I do then??》
The Skyrian who speaks so meaningfully... … The large fan in her hand was gently swinging from side to side..
On the other side, Parekhian has attached a fan to one of his six legs and is waving it gently..
The object of being fanned was Violet, sitting in a fancy chair with wheels, being fanned from both sides... … He was gulping down the straw attached to his drink glass..
Violet, who was looking into space with wide-open eyes, opened her mouth and made a strange sound like buh-heh..
“joota~”
“…….”
No, Violet, what are you doing?.
In this battle to subjugate the Black Dragon, they are classified as a reserve unit, so there is no need to fight on the front lines... … Why is it so loose to the bottom of my soul?.
“omg?!”
Violet came to her senses a beat late and struggled with her limbs..
“Save me, your highness! These dragons are so annoying to me! When I came to my senses, I found myself being pampered in every way possible.……!”
“No, it usually doesn't break down to that extent.…….”
Even a real princess wouldn't be like that, hey. I clicked my tongue..
《Come on, Violet. You don't have to think about other annoying things. Leave everything to us and relax. Ego…….》
“Oh, no… … I am… … The leader of the gambling club, Bai… … Ollett…….”
With those last words, Violet lost her mind and even began to drool from the corner of her mouth. Totally gone, gone.
I ignored Violet, who had lost her temper at being treated so harshly as a princess, and turned to face Skarian..
“Skarian. Do you feel like this operation is not enough??”
《no… … I think it was very well written. I think this is your one and only strategy that penetrates my father's only weakness to the limit as a human being..》
Skarian narrowed his eyes and laughed..
《But that's all it takes?》
“…….”
《Wouldn't it be difficult to defeat your father with just your 'best'... … That's what I think..》
“If you can't defeat it even with your best efforts. Then what should I do??”
《I told you this before. I am the one who believes that you cannot defeat your father in the first place..》
Skylian looked down at Violet with love and gently waved her fan..
《More than the best... … Don’t we need something that combines coincidence, luck, and miracle?.》
“…….”
I know too.
It is no longer difficult to completely defeat monsters using game strategies alone..
That fact was already proven during Lord of the Flies, and became clear when dealing with the Black Dragon Legion. The transcendent will of the monsters has long since torn up my strategy map and escaped..
‘so… … what can i do?’
In addition to steadily preparing a strategy based on the information you know,.
what on earth can i do.
《As promised in advance, I will fight faithfully in this battle as you tell me..》
Skyrian said, sweeping away his long bangs..
okay. Instead of fighting and killing the Skarians and getting them on the same side, he promised to fight his father himself..
Skalian's special abilities are focused on defense and evasion. It will be useful when saving the lives of allies in this battle to subdue the black dragon..
《How will you fight your father? What will be the ending? Because I want to see it up close.》
“…….”
I just asked something I've been curious about for a long time..
“Skarian. You'll enjoy watching us take down your father..”
《of course. What story could be as exciting as that? A story about humans defeating an evil dragon that cannot be defeated, huh?…….》
“So, if. If we fail utterly and are horribly wiped out... … Is that fun for you too??”
There was silence for a moment..
Skarian hesitated as if he had been caught off guard, and gave his characteristic nerdy look over his glasses..
《To be honest, I like it much more that way..》
“…….”
《When man's noble history and dignified will are torn to pieces and trampled like insects in the face of overwhelming violence..》
I kept my mouth shut while listening to him..
《If the heroes I love despair, shed tears, and ultimately die trembling in fear... … oh my god. Is there anything more fun than watching it right next to you??》
The Skarian trembled as if just imagining it gave him goosebumps..
I chewed and spat it out without hiding my discomfort..
“Just like your father, you too are a pervert..”
《ha ha ha. I can't help it. I've been locked away in the Lake Kingdom library for the past hundreds of years, and I've seen too many stories with happy endings. I'm sick of it.》
This nerd with hipster tastes…….
Skarian shrugged..
《The story of defeating the evil dragon and everyone living happily ever after is too old-fashioned and obvious. I was bitten. Fresh and cruel tragedies are much more fun.》
“……After all, you are not on our side.”
《I never said I would be on your side. I told you, right? I am also a member of the Black Dragon Corps. I'm in a position where I want the world to perish..》
Skarian scratched the back of his head in confusion..
《But as long as you fight with your father. I want to watch the fight from the nearest special seat, so I'll just stand by your side..》
“…….”
《So, Ash. Don't let your long fight end in tragedy... … It would be good to have more variables..》
“…….”
《There is still a clear difference in status between my father and you humans. If things continue like this, I expect it will end up being a bad ending too easily..》
The Skyrian frowned and dragged the chair Violet was sitting on. Parekhian ran after him..
I looked to the side while glaring at the backs of the capturing monsters that were moving away..
I saw Dusk Bringer looking up at me with worried eyes. The injury is still not fully healed, and it looks like it is wrapped in bandages..
“Are you okay, Ash??”
“……grandee.”
Are you okay? I wonder if it would be unreasonable to go into the next battle with that injury?…….
Those kind words rose up in my throat, but I tried to suppress them..
I closed my eyes once and opened them, and brought up the cruel story I had been putting off for a while..
“‘Please explain in detail ‘how to become a dragon’..”
“……!”
Dusk Bringer's face turned white..
***
next day.
Magic concentrators were distributed to all members of the expedition, and the heroes trained to change their magic into light..
Lights of different colors lined up like spotlights according to each person's magical power, coloring the training ground. Perhaps because they are all warriors of reversal, they adapt quickly..
“…….”
I watch a training exercise in which dozens of beams of light are scattered and then shot to a single point according to a signal... … Someone came up behind me.
Even without turning around, I knew who it was. Because I called him.
“king poseidon.”
“…….”
The person standing behind me was the king of mermaids, King Poseidon, with blue hair and beard..
I glanced back at him..
“The resolution you gave me a long time ago is still the same now.?”
“…….”
He didn't bother to answer. I guess he doesn't need to say more.
I exhaled..
“I need you to come with me. Just the two of us, a secret from others.”
“……where are you going?
“Go to the bottom of the lake kingdom.”
Even though they were in the midst of serious training, the playful heroes began shooting light at each other's faces, making strange expressions on their faces to cast shadows, or making shapes such as dogs or crabs with their fingers to create shadows on the wall..
I was laughing while watching that childish but affectionate appearance... … I turned completely and looked straight at King Poseidon..
“‘In order to create 'variables', there are people you need to meet.”
King Poseidon's hard face soon nodded deeply..
“I'll go anywhere. If there's anything I can do to help.”
***
After going through so many preparation processes,…….
Time passes quickly, and before you know it, it’s the day before the expedition..
The departure ceremony is held today.
What's the big fuss about the departure ceremony... … I wanted to hold it, but it was a battle where the fate of the world depended, and I had something to announce in this place where many kings gathered, so I decided to hold it..
Hotel Crossroad. hall.
A place where all the kings, monarchs, and chiefs of the World Defense Front gather together and talk carefully before the departure ceremony..
“I mean, we in the North have already done enough.?”
You are openly trolling... … There was a king who struck candles in this place..
Yun's father, the king of the Aryan Kingdom, was Miller Aryan..
“Why does the North have to suffer so much from the outbreak of a monster in the South? Even if a monster breaks through this fortress, it doesn't matter to us in the North.?”
He was ruining the mood by repeating once again a story that had already been said..
“My country lost its only airship, and many of its elite warriors died. Even my beloved youngest daughter is dying. What more damage can I do than this??”
“…….”
“We will now withdraw from this fight for which there is no decent reward. You, too, would do well to think carefully.!”
Did you say that your true nature comes out when you are in a crisis?.
As soon as destruction was imminent, a troller that looked like a painting like this came out. oh my.
‘The problem is, that guy's words have their own impact..’
The king and soldiers gathered at the Crossroads were quite frightened..
In the face of this extraordinary phenomenon where the day disappeared and the sun became dim, my morale plummeted and my butt kept slipping backwards..
The weather became colder, the wounds left by the Lord of the Flies were deep, and the fear of the black dragon spread along with the darkness that covered the city..
Alliances that seemed strong easily weakened in the face of fear that went beyond common sense..
People wanted to flee, and the Aryan king was leading the charge. Cracks were popping open in the bonds that were barely held together like grains of sand..
And now it was time for me to step forward..
“Hehehe!”
Clearing my throat, I approached the kings. The surprised kings all looked at me..
“Prince Ash……!”
“Good morning, everyone. It's dark for a morning.”
I looked at King Aryan and took out the letter from my pocket..
“This is the will of the youngest princess, Yoon Ariane, who served as the King's representative of the Ariane Kingdom at the World Defense Front. It was entrusted to the Beast King Kuilan, and then passed on to me..”
Kuilan, who followed behind me, nodded. I grinned..
“Yoon asked me to read this in front of you. So that's the way it is.”
I opened the letter before King Aryan could say anything more..
“There is one to my family and one to Kuilan. I'll give this to each of you, so read it yourself... … There is a will sent to me, so I am going to read it..”
After fixing my voice, I read Yun’s will..
“His Royal Highness Prince Ash. When God ordered me to write a will, I thought a lot about what to write..”
Yun's strokes were bold and clear, like her personality..
“If I, the representative warrior of the North and one of the leading heroes of the World Defense Front, were to fall, it would mean that the situation on the front was that critical and that the invasion of monsters was dangerous..”
The content of praising herself also showed no hesitation and was full of confidence, just like her..
“As the situation is desperate, people are probably afraid. It's not because they are cowards. It is natural for people to feel fear in the presence of monsters. Actually, I was also very scared. Even now as I write my will,.”
“…….”
“The struggle here at the front must be great because it overcomes that fear and fights..”
The kings who were swept up in the fanning of the Aryan king exchanged glances with each other. I pretended not to know and continued reading.
“Whether a hero, a soldier, a king, or a citizen, there will inevitably come a moment when courage weakens. As the head of the World Defense Front, Prince Ash. Please comfort and watch over me constantly..”
King Aryan's face turned red at what followed..
“Especially someone like my father..”
“What……?!”
“If I fall, my father will try to withdraw his troops. Even if he dies soon, he will not suffer any loss. Because he is afraid of loss..”
King Aryan, who was trying to stop my reading by shouting, stopped at the next words..
“But in fact, he is braver than anyone else. He is a person who knows how to pursue the true cause, not trivial interests..”
“…….”
“Please hold on to Him. Please rekindle the courage that sleeps within Him. Prince Ash, you can do it. As it has been for many people, including me,.”
How did you write such an appropriate sniping message in your will in advance?.
It was something I could write about because I knew what kind of person my father was and how he would act if he fell..
I continued reading and made eye contact with King Aryan..
“If you miss out on the great battle taking place here. If you step back because of immediate loss or immediate fear. You will definitely regret it later.”
“…….”
“As his daughter and the princess of the Aryan kingdom, I ask you a favor. Even after I fell, Aryan and the North... … And encourage all nations to keep fighting.”
Since I had already memorized the rest of the letter, I put the letter down and looked around the audience to finish reading it..
“Many people will fall after me. A lot of tears will flow and a lot of blood will flow.”
“…….”
“I hope you don't consider this a loss. I hope you don't think of it as a failure. This is a fight that is already outside of those calculations..”
I closed my eyes and lowered my head..
“As an ordinary human being, it was an honor to participate in the great war to protect the world. Prince Ash. I wish you all the best of luck..”
This is how Yun’s will ended..
The crowd was engulfed in silence.
In fact, in addition to this, there were a lot of trivial things written, such as saying that I was a foodie when we first met at the New Terra ballroom, that dating has never worked out well since he was dumped by me, and that he should take better care of Kuilan... … There's no need to read it.
“I originally thought about writing a candidacy ticket ahead of this inauguration ceremony, but there was no need to..”
I raised my head and looked around at the kings with a grin..
“Princess Yun wrote such a wonderful epitaph..”
