Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 671
◈ 671. [STAGE 40] Black Dragon Subjugation Battle (5)
Hotel Crossroad. temporary conference hall.
“The punitive force... … Total annihilation?”
The kings were in shock..
It wasn't that he wasn't prepared for damage. In the worst case scenario, annihilation was assumed..
But I never expected that they would be massacred so one-sidedly. She thought she would be able to inflict at least one fatal wound on the black dragon..
Just a few scars and a scale-
This was the whole result of the war. It was so shabby that it was obtained in exchange for the lives of 30,000 elites gathered from all over the world..
The Heroes' Expedition was defeated. Commander Ashe is missing.
The air fleet and 30,000 main forces were annihilated..
And the darkness is still creeping north…….
“urgent report-!”
However, the black dragon did not give the kings time to be in shock. The next report came right after..
“It's urgent! Report from the observation team! Black Dragon is preparing his third breath! The aiming direction is here, Crossroads.!”
“……!”
The kings who had been frozen in shock woke up all at once. And I fell into even greater confusion.
The kings screamed, unable to figure out how to prevent the approaching destruction..
Meaningless shouting and yelling filled the venue. In the chaotic venue, only Emperor Traha lowered his cold eyes and was calmly lost in thought..
“The means of defense are?”
When the emperor asked, the deputy who was standing behind him answered:.
“A barrier has been prepared to cover the entire city, but we don't know if it will hold up..”
“Dragon Lady?”
“As expected, you are preparing, but your injury is too deep..”
“……The ‘method’ my son left behind is?”
“doesn't listen.”
“hmm.”
Traha, clasping his hands in front of his chest, sighed as if he were tired..
“I was always prepared for the end, but... … This is closer than you think.”
The confusion inside the venue was deepening. Traha just closed his eyes..
All the dice that can be thrown have already been thrown..
From now on, in the sky, and…….
I have no choice but to leave it to the people on the battlefield..
***
Night Bringer's breath is almost finished reloading..
This power breath was not a means of attack that could be used often, even as a Night Bringer. The cycle is approximately once every 12 hours..
Once to the north immediately after landing at Inse, once toward the forward base 12 hours later, and once again toward the north 24 hours later..
Even if you don't use the breath, the fortress city will collapse anyway when the main body reaches the crossroads..
But there was no reason not to use this breath. At least, didn't this battle prove that those who just want to hide behind the castle walls can be taken out by force?.
Kwaaaa……!
The Night Bringer's thick neck trembled and he let his breath up to his chin. Now, if I just let out this accumulated breath, the fortress city will be over.-
It was then.
nettle liquid!
From overhead, something swooped down towards the Night Bringer..
《……?》
Night Bringer rolled his eyes curiously, looked up, and eventually found.
Going to school-!
An airship was falling vertically from the sky..
Clunk, clank, clank-!
The fully deployed gun barrel at the front of the airship glowed red, and soon all of the ammunition it had was fired..
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo-!
While pouring down a rain of ammunition, the airship simultaneously launched a hand-to-hand attack..
《That's fierce.》
The Night Bringer snorted and created magic by moving only his eyes..
Because it was just before the breath was fired, not only the seven heads but also the entire body could not be moved. But he was not without means of defense..
Numerous magic circles emerged around the Night Bringer's head, and the dark magic bullets created from those magic circles soared toward the sky..
pop! pop! Bubbling bubbling!
The ammunition fired by the Airship and the magic fired by the Night Bringer intersected in the air and struck each other's targets..
The airship's ammunition sent sparks flying over the Night Bringer's scales, but did not do any real damage. On the contrary, the Night Bringer's magic tore the secret ship to pieces..
Flames ignited throughout the hull of the airship that had been hit by magic in the air, but it never reached the Night Bringer.-
Kwakwang……!
It exploded right above the Night Bringer's head..
After calmly blocking this fierce but meaningless interruption, the Night Bringer was about to open its mouth and blast its breath towards the north..
《……?!》
Giiiiiiing!
overhead.
Through the smoke of the explosion, another airship appeared..
《Hoo……!》
Night Bringer exclaimed slightly..
From the beginning, the two planes descended in a single line, close together..
Using the vanguard's airspace as bait, the real thing is the rear airspace.……!
The newly appeared airship raised the barrier on its hull and rushed forward. Night Bringer let out a laugh..
《Isn’t it pretty, human?-!》
Pubububung! pop! Powwow-!
The Night Bringer's black magic bullets were fired again, but the response was slightly delayed - and the Airship avoided most of them by turning smoothly as if performing acrobatics in the air..
And, it fell in a curved line instead of a straight line, hitting the side of the black dragon's head just before it released its breath.-
Kwasik-!
I hit it.
At this moment, the dragon's head bent to the side very slightly.…….
Quaaaaaaa-!
At the same time, the breath expelled from the Night Bringer's mouth was shot far to the north..
The dark magic fired again tore the airship to pieces. After completing its mission, the airship crashed, scattering sparks and debris..
“Pfft……!”
Macmillan was observing all this with a telescope from a distant forest..
cried Macmillan, bleeding from his clenched lip..
“Is it a success??!”
In the forest, most of the personnel on board the aircraft were lying face down, watching this scene..
Everyone except the two volunteer pilots hid here, crying and praying for the success of the operation..
and-
***
“The third breath is coming-!”
“Pull up the barrier-!”
crossroads.
The wizards and alchemists waiting on the castle wall simultaneously unleashed the magic core of the artifact and activated the barrier..
and-
Quaaaaa……!
The breath that flew in missed..
I passed by the crossroads walls just in the nick of time. And he burned down the eastern plains and hills, which were nothing but empty plains..
It took two days to travel north from the valley where the Night Bringer was to the Crossroads..
As the airship risked its life and pushed the launch angle just a little, the path of the breath was greatly distorted..
Even though it missed, a surge of heat rose and the flags of various countries fluttering on the castle walls caught fire..
But I missed it. Crossroads survived..
“Breath, I missed.……!”
“Ma, long live! hurray! I lived!”
The wizards and alchemists who were happy immediately turned their faces stiff..
Pacchik, Pacchik…….
All barriers are down.
With just a passing breath, the barrier surrounding the entire city was torn apart. It wasn't a direct hit, it just touched the outside, but it was like this..
If the next breath hits directly, the barrier won't be able to withstand it..
All the humans on the wall looked at the eastern plain with pale, tired faces..
Under the pitch-black sky, the dry fields were covered in black flames and burning endlessly..
***
“Here's a report! The breath missed.!”
“The Air Fleet blocked the Night Bringer's breath fire.!”
As soon as the report came in, there were sighs of relief, exclamations, and sighs at the temporary conference hall set up at Hotel Crossroads..
While everyone was agitated, only Emperor Traha was still assessing the situation with cold eyes..
“12Got a reprieve.”
This was a situation in which relief was not an option. Didn't the entire barrier come down just by passing by?.
“Reinforce the barrier further before the next breath fire, and pour all resources into the treatment of the Dragon Lady..”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“and… … Persuade the ‘method’ left by Ash.”
Traha growled fiercely..
“No matter what means you use, do whatever it takes.”
***
Manor house. guest room.
“Hey, over there... … Skarian Niim…….”
Illusionist Violet twisted her body, not knowing what to do..
It was the largest and best guest room. The furniture is large and luxurious, and the fireplace filled with firewood burns warmly..
On the soft carpet in front of this fireplace, Skeyrian, the 'Sunrin of the Black Dragon', was lying comfortably in human form..
Skeyrian, wearing glasses on the tip of his nose, was reading various rare books collected from all over the world, pouring rare liquor into a glass next to him, and eating delicacies from various regions, which were also rare, with the hand that was not holding the book..
《What's wrong, Violet??》
Skyrian looked up from the book and asked back softly. Then Violet twisted her body again and asked.
“Well, over there... … B-breath… … If you stop it... … It won't work... … Shall I??”
《…….》
Skalian let out a quiet sigh..
How to stop the Night Bringer's breath, left behind by Ash’.
That was Skalian. However, this dragon has not listened to any of the humans' requests since immediately after Ash disappeared..
They were offering all kinds of offerings, including books, precious alcohol, and delicacies from the mountains and the sea, in an attempt to somehow change his mind... … The seeds didn't even work.
So it was Violet who was mobilized. This was because Violet was the only human whom the Skarians openly favored..
Violet, who had been promised hundreds of millions of money by the imperial family, tried to persuade Skalian somehow, but-
《no.》
Skarian sharply refused..
《Ash is the only human who can give me orders. But he's missing now.》
“…….”
《To be honest, I am very satisfied with my current situation. It's fun to watch the world fall into chaos and destruction, and it's also interesting to watch humans' attempts to find a way out..》
Skarian smiled softly..
《So, I won't stop you. If I block it, that's it and it's not much fun. It's much more fun to watch you guys struggling..》
“Ha, but, if things continue like this…….”
Violet swallowed dry saliva and raised her hand and pointed to herself..
“Well, I'm dying too.?!”
《Oh, you don't have to worry about that..》
Skyrian slowly stood up and approached Violet. Surprised, Violet hiccuped and stepped back..
Tuk.
“Hehehe?!”
Violet was startled when she backed away and her back hit the wall..
The Skylian stood in front of Violet, his golden eyes rounded behind his glasses, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed the end of Violet's light purple hair... … he took a breath.
《Because I will save you.》
“Ooh, wow…….”
《Even if the world is destroyed, I will protect you, Violet. So don't worry.》
“Wow……!”
I felt burdened and confused because I wondered why this was happening to me, but I also felt strangely happy... … Violet is shaking, not knowing what to do..
Thump thump!
A loud vibration rang through the window next to the wall where Violet's back touched..
When Violet looked around in shock, she saw Parekhian, the 'Black Dragon's Claw', sticking his characteristic machine-like face through the window..
Parekhian let out a dissatisfied engine sound..
Skarian chuckled..
《what. Violet and I are having fun together, so I’m envious, Parekhian.?》
giiiiing-!
《If you tell me, Polymorph and you can come in too. Oh, you can't?》
Wow!-!
Violet, caught between the two dragons' war of nerves, swallowed back tears..
‘After not being popular with any human male all my life... … How did it become so popular among dragons?…….’
If this was the end of the century, Violet thought to herself, it would be a scene worthy of the end of the century..
It was then. Outside the window, I saw a group of people moving in a hurry..
‘huh?’
Violet, puzzled, looked in that direction, and Skyrian and Parekhian also moved their heads to follow Violet's gaze..
People moving along the main streets of the city center... … They were the people of the Aryan kingdom..
Those who had packed their bags were leaving in a hurry to head north..
Not only the king, Miller Arian, but also the unconscious Yoon, and the warriors who had been fighting steadily in the Crossroads. It was power.
They were detained in the city because the World Defense Front did not allow them to leave, but now that Breath has passed by, they appear to have taken advantage of the city's chaos to leave for the north..
It was not only the people of the Aryan Kingdom.
The people of various small kingdoms who had been unable to escape out of fear followed the Aryan Kingdom's procession as if they thought this was the time, and the group grew huge..
《…….》
Skyrian, who was watching this with interest, turned his head towards Violet..
《Violet.》
Violet, who was staring at the scene blankly with her mouth open, turned to face the Skyrian. Then Skarian grinned..
《Why don't we just run away with them??》
“Eh?”
《There is no hope on this front anyway. Even if I stop the breath, my father will arrive in two days... … Then destruction is certain.》
“…….”
《Rather than just sit here and wait for death to come... … how is it. Won't you run away to the north together??》
“Ha, but eventually the whole world will be destroyed.…….”
《I told you. Even if the world is destroyed, I will protect you.》
Skarian lowered his head. Violet stiffened and looked into the dragon's golden eyes..
《If we have to, let's hide and live by ourselves in a place where our father can't find us. So, how about?》
“…….”
《I want to escape this scary front line and run away together.?》
After a moment of silence.
“How on earth could you think like that?…….”
Violet shook her head as if in despair.,
“……Are you a genius, Yong??”
Violet hurriedly picked up the bag that was lying in the corner of the room, stuffed a lot of food and valuables into it, and then-
I carried my bulging bag on my back and shouted loudly..
“great! Let's run away!”
《…….》
“Oh quick! hurry! before getting caught!”
Skarian, who was dazed for a moment, eventually burst into laughter..
《This is why I like you.》
In this way.
A human and two dragons joined the crowd leaving the city and began to run away from the front lines..
Early snowflakes were falling from the sky.
It was winter.
