I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 693

◈ 693. [STAGE 40] Night Closing

Crossroads. downtown.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

crying.

Serenade.

He hugged me tightly, tears and snot pouring out sadly on my chest..

“Three, serenade? It's okay, calm down…….”

“Hehehe.”

“It won't work. I've completely regressed..”

I gave up trying to appease the serenade somehow and raised my hands..

Serenade's exclusive maid, Elise, came running late and tried to somehow cheer Serenade up..

“Lord, my lord. Everyone is watching, so calm down.…….”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”

“Ugh, don’t cry… … I wanted to cry too... … Heheup.”

Elise raised her red eyes and swallowed her nose. No, why are you crying too? … Several characters are broken today..

Anyway, Elise also failed. Serenade continued to cry, clinging to my arms like a cicada, and Elise, who had given up, also raised her hands. And she smiled at me, wiping the corners of her eyes..

“You are back, Your Majesty..”

“It's still too early to be at ease, though..”

I smiled bitterly as I looked at Serenade's wet face..

I couldn't tell you that I died and came back to life, and that I don't know how much of the me you loved will remain in me..

Instead, he gently patted Serenade on the back..

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat seeing the Serenade ruined..

“Lord Sangdan, was this your personality?……?”

“I guess what you've been holding in for so long has finally come to an end.…….”

“I understand. This is Ash Inum's second return after going missing. How upset must you be??”

Kelly Bay grumbled and slapped my back. As if he had been waiting, he subtly hit the other heroes as well, hitting me one by one. He said, ‘This is Serenade’s responsibility.’.

Stop hitting me, you bastards! Lucas, don’t just sit back and watch, stop me.!

“……I didn't want to see you this warm..”

Crown, who had joined, was muttering behind him, and Damian was next to him, rubbing the tip of his nose with red eyes..

“Hehehe, hehe... … Thank you. This is not the case…….”

Finally, the true serenade retreated with a muffled sound..

That is correct. It's cute and heartbreaking, but right now is not the time to relax like this..

I asked, carefully wiping Serenade's messed up face with a handkerchief..

“Serenade, where is your majesty??”

Before leaving on an expedition.

I give the emperor a final strategy... … In other words, I already told you about Operation Night Closing..

He said to consider it if all previously prepared defense measures from Plan A to F have been neutralized..

And now, in fact, all remaining measures have been neutralized..

Did the emperor really prepare for this final strategy??

“You are in the warehouse area. We are preparing for the final operation left behind by His Majesty the Crown Prince..”

As expected, my father did not waste his time as emperor.!

“I also prepared together. Now, this way.”

We rushed towards it, following Serenade's lead..

A hangar was seen standing among the warehouses that collapsed and burned under the Night Bringer's breath..

Even though giant monsters were fighting outside the castle walls with the force of destroying the world, the production union people who filled the hangar were busy working without even blinking..

And what they are grooming is…….

“……what?”

It was the first time I had seen it..

Earth's aircraft carrier... … It was much smaller in size, but had a similar shape..

There was a long deck in front of the hull, and the hatch was also open forward so that heroes could come and go..

Overall, it looked like a half-mix between Alcatraz and Geronimo. The beautiful curved design and tightly attached armor were from Alcatraz, and the plain thruster on the back was from Geronimo..

The military commander seemed to have used everything he had at hand..

At the front, there are about 10 machine guns that fire magic bullets, and at the rear, all remaining ammunition inventory, including Dwarven-made tracking missiles, is loaded..

My mouth widened when I saw this seemingly plausible emptiness that suddenly appeared. Where did this stuff come from??

“The technology accumulated while salvaging and repairing Geronimo, the ancient information collected from all over the continent, and the craftsmen of different races brought in from all over the world.…….”

Serenade lowered her voice and looked around..

“Huh. Blueprints taken from the Imperial Air Force Fleet with bribes, source technology from a scouted Imperial engineer... … This is a new airship that our shipyard was building, and it is Your Majesty's private plane..”

Serenade explained, looking embarrassed, as if she had just discovered the birthday present she was preparing..

I couldn't close my mouth. This is a boat you built from scratch just to give it to me? I really didn't even think about this.

“In fact, it was an unfinished product that could barely fly... … Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's handover of a large number of Alcatraz parts, and to the dedication of Crossroads' magical construction technology and the capabilities of everyone in the Production Association. Now, I am able to fulfill my role with just one aircraft..”

As I got closer, the production union people covered in oil and grime all stood up and saluted me. I saluted in silence.

Everyone fought together without giving up until the end..

‘I was only thinking about putting my father in the retired Alcatraz as a pilot and forcing him to operate it.…….’

Really caught off guard, I took a closer look at the new boat. Serenade continued the explanation..

“It is an amphibious assault ship built with the design philosophy of prioritizing the sortie and recovery of heroes, and its name is…….”

After saying that, Serenade gave me a sideways glance..

“Please attach it yourself..”

“…….”

At that moment, a name popped into my head as if it had been decided from the beginning. I slowly spit out the name.

“La Mancha).”

“La Mancha…….”

Serenade, who had been rolling the name in her mouth, tilted her head..

“What does it mean?”

“Now we have to create that meaning.”

At that time, someone came down from the deck of the new airship, making footsteps sound, and approached me..

“Now that the ship has a name, all we have to do is launch..”

I looked there, and sure enough, it was the emperor..

The emperor looked at me with unexpected relief on his characteristic steel face and smiled, raising his beard..

“I was just about to fly into the sky on this plane alone, but now that you're back, I guess I'll have to hand over the helm..”

“We can't let Abama monopolize the monumental first flight..”

Actually, I have work to do on earth, not in heaven, so I have to stay here.…….

As I made eye contact with the emperor and had a silent conversation between father and son, someone cautiously called out to me..

“ash.”

It was Kelly Bay. Kelly Bay winked at the Siren statue [Solid Superstition] that he was dragging on the floor..

“Is it okay to attach this to the bow??”

“Sure. Kelly Bay. Rather, I would like to ask you a favor..”

When I nodded willingly, Kelly Bay's complexion brightened and she ran to the front of the ship, dragging the statue..

While Kelly Bay was attaching the statue to the bow and the production crew was making final adjustments to the airship, I looked around at my assembled heroes and said,.

“There is no time, I will explain the name of Operation ‘Night Closing’! The operation is simple.”

For some reason, I feel like I always start by saying 'simple' and 'easy' like a medicine seller, but no, the outline of this operation is really simple..

It's just difficult to do.

“All members of the special lease boarded this private ship ‘La Mancha’ and took part in the southern sky… … It flies to about this point..”

After using the map to point out the area in the sky where the nameless pillar of light left a scratch, I continued my explanation..

“Heroes on the ground will indicate the exact attack point. Then you pierce the veil of that point and continue to ascend.…….”

widely!

After tapping the map once with my fingertip, I finished my explanation..

“All you have to do is cut down all the subsequent curtains and break through to the final, highest point..”

The emperor, who had been listening quietly, let out a laugh..

“Easy to say.”

Yes. The outline of the operation is extremely simple, but the content is not easy at all..

You must jump into the very center of the evil veil of darkness that pollutes your mind just by getting close, and soar to the very end of the sky, cutting down the evil intentions that try to bring down all who come close..

‘But this battle has already gone beyond the issue of whether it is easy or difficult. It's long past time to consider possibilities.’

Will you make it or will you not make it? That's all.

Lucky or bad, the heroes of the current special lease have their bodies and souls stained by darkness..

It will be able to withstand the curse poured down by that veil of darkness. Since the mind is already polluted, it is a principle that can withstand further pollution..

“There is no time. Prepare for sortie immediately!”

“yes-!”

All members of the special lease team immediately packed their equipment and rushed toward the airship without even asking a single question..

Luna Red glanced here and there, but when there were many eyes watching, he let out a groan as if he had no choice and ran to the airship..

‘Go, people of La Mancha.’

After watching their backs moving away, I called out to Lucas who was about to pack up his equipment and leave..

“lucas.”

“Yes, my lord..”

I walked up to Lucas who immediately stopped..

“Just keep this in mind. No matter where you fall or where you wander, it’s okay. Just don't forget what we were watching.”

I released the torn and fluttering black flag of the World Defense Front hanging from my flagpole... … He tied it to Lucas' left arm..

Lucas stuttered as he looked down at the black flag that was swinging like a long string from his left arm..

“In this case, my lord, the flag…….”

“I'm okay.”

I smiled brightly.

“I have it. always.”

I gave Lucas, who had an expression of confusion, a pat on the back..

“Now, go quickly! escort. Go and open the way for me!”

He seemed to have come to his senses after hearing those words..

Even with his ferocious face that still had traces of beast painting, Lucas showed his usual serious expression and bowed his head to me..

Then he jumped up and ran to the airship. I watched the back until the end..

“Although almost all of the parts were removed, leaving only the skeleton, Alcatraz is still operable..”

The Emperor then headed towards the hangar next door..

“Jim takes Alcatraz and helps La Mancha. Son, I will leave you to the land..”

“Please, Abama.”

“ash.”

The golden light no longer flashed in the emperor's eyes as he glanced back..

“I feel a confidence in you that I never had before..”

instead… … The joy of being a prince was flowing..

The joy of being a father who is relieved to see his heirs grow up..

“I have found the answer to my ordeal.?”

“…….”

I smiled silently, and the emperor grinned, showing his molars..

“I can't die until I hear the answer.”

“…….”

“If you are confident, probability is not important in that direction. Believe in yourself... … Let's move forward along the established path..”

The emperor waved his hand and left..

After organizing the team to take to the sky like this,.

“Thank you, Serenade.”

I looked at the serenade who prepared the private ship and expressed my gratitude and request..

“Please follow La Mancha’s sortie process until the end. I'll go direct the rest of the operation from the walls..”

“majesty!”

Serenade, who called me, clenched her fists with both hands as if she had made up her mind and looked up at me and said:.

“I too have decided. I will fight and not give up until this life ends. so…….”

She smiled brightly with a haggard face..

“I won't wait any longer.”

I chuckled..

This person really doesn't know himself..

I've never waited quietly before. Always fighting the best I can.

“Serenade, what we’ve done so far is enough… … Whoop whoop?!”

I was about to say something, but Serenade grabbed my collar and pulled me in... … overlapped lips.

Ah, what this means is not waiting?!

“Three, serenade? Everyone is looking at you, so calm down a little… … Wooooow whoop.”

Serenade didn't calm down at all and showered me with kisses several times. I cried a lot earlier and it looks like my inner limiter has been shattered.…….

Everyone around me turned their heads and pretended not to notice. Damien, avoiding eye contact, cleared his throat with a red face, followed by the sound of Crown muttering helplessly..

“……I didn't want to see you this hot..”

Shut up! Because I didn’t want to show it either.!

“go first.”

Serenade, who finally let go of me, changed her haggard appearance to a face that was as shiny as a lie, and smiled brightly..

“I'll catch up with you soon.”

“…….”

After holding her hand tightly,.

I turned around and walked toward the castle wall. Damian and Crown, who were waiting, immediately followed me on both sides..

Crown's eyes narrowed as he looked at me through the mask..

“I don’t want to see you this warm.…….”

“shut up! If you repeat that repertoire one more time, I won't let you go, Crown.!”

I was so embarrassed for no reason that I huffed, but Damian laughed..

“Hehehe. still… … It was much better to see it than to see everyone crying..”

“…….”

“Of course, the presence of the prince will bring life to this battle line..”

okay. What's wrong with being embarrassed at a kiss show?.

If the world didn't end and everyone could make fun of me and laugh... … What is there to hesitate about?.

‘I'll make it happen.’

To protect moments when people can smile.

I will show you the final path to clearing until the end..

With renewed determination, I hurried my steps towards the castle wall..

“let's go. While the people in heaven are splitting the darkness, the people on earth also have to do their job..”

Then Crown laughed and joked..

“So what can the lake person do??”

“……Follow me quietly.”

By the way, Crown, you bastard, haven’t you been enjoying yourself by secretly dripping since a while ago?……?!
