Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 708

◈ 708. [Side Story] Status check

That evening. lord's office.

I was lost in thought, twirling the fountain pen in my hand..

‘Recovering the bodies of fallen soldiers, rebuilding the city... … It's happening incredibly fast..’

As true destruction came and went just around the corner, people who fully realized the gravity of the work being done here on the front line came from all over the world to volunteer..

Thanks to this, the workforce is overflowing, and it is expected to increase further in the future. The size of the volunteer army is also increasing rapidly..

‘However, it must be said that the elite troops gathered from each country were virtually annihilated..’

Volunteers and workers will leave tomorrow morning to collect the bodies of those elite troops.…….

I gathered my bitterness and began to organize the current state of the front line..

‘First of all, medical history.’

The 30,000 troops gathered by the World Defense Front, consisting of only elites from around the world, were annihilated. The air fleet was similarly completely destroyed..

Currently, there is only one airship that can be operated, ‘La Mancha’. Even that was overworked during the 'Night Closing' operation, so it had to go into repairs for a while..

‘Fortunately, there are still soldiers who were part of Crossroads from the beginning..’

1An anti-monster warfare specialist who has been going through hell with me here for years. The main unit of the Monster Front, which grew from a ragtag group of kids to masters of killing monsters.).

In addition, the Everblack Imperial Infantry Corps also retained its troops..

The troops of this race also retained their strength, but their numbers were not that large in the first place..

Because they were living under oppression in their respective autonomous regions, it was not possible to have a large number of troops. However, the quality of the troops is high..

In addition, several remaining units remained, and here are the last..

‘volunteer army…….’

The volunteer army began to be incorporated into Crossroads during the Fall Festival..

The scale is quite large, and training has been steadily progressing since then, but it is still clumsy. Especially since the opponent this time was the Black Dragon, we couldn't send him to the front line at all..

‘The morale is high.…….’

Can they really be put into battle against monsters? Even if they are deployed, will they be able to properly fight against the terrible monsters of the latter half of the third year?.

“…….”

In addition, plans to reorganize the remaining units and small units from various regions were organized into documents..

I put pen to new paper to handle the next item on the agenda..

‘Next, defense equipment.’

I hate to say this, but Crossroads is now very good at breaking down and rebuilding..

Various facilities and collapsed facilities within the city will be able to be restored quickly..

If it's still a problem…….

‘It's a castle wall..’

It was completely destroyed by the self-destruction following the Lord of the Flies' body slam, and after struggling to build a new one, it was torn apart by the Night Bringer's breath and darkness..

Well, it hasn't been like that since it was the time of the southern wall suffering..

‘need to be restored.’

Yeah, I have to do it.…….

‘How do I do this? oh my.’

Of course, facilities such as castle walls require annual construction time..

In the last reconstruction, the period of labor was shortened to a monstrous level thanks to the magical construction technology brought from the Lake Kingdom and the castle wall parts completely airlifted from the imperial capital of New Terra.,

I can't pull a fluke like that this time..

‘The castle wall was cut... … Another forward base that was harpooned…….’

I placed my hand on my forehead and sighed heavily..

‘Construction is really coming to an end..’

I don't see a clear solution right now.

Fortunately, the castle wall brought from New Terra was assembled using a method of assembling parts, so the parts that were not damaged are still standing..

Let's focus on that area and figure out a solution while carrying out restoration work..

Castle walls, forward bases, barracks, military warehouses... … After reviewing the details of damaged equipment and organizing a rough recovery plan,.

I looked down at the next stack of papers..

‘And, last.’

equipment.

The equipment of heroes who fight directly against the monster kings of nightmares on the front lines is much more important than any military supplies..

And that important equipment…….

‘Wow, no joke..’

As I was flipping through the documents filled with details of the damaged equipment, my jaw dropped lower and lower. Crazy, how much did they change??

First, let’s look at my equipment.

[Great Commander's Banner], lost.

“Cough!”

After clearing my throat violently without realizing it, I hastily picked up my coffee cup and drank it down like water..

“Whoo, whoo, whoo.”

Let's calm down, calm down, calm down... … Damn it! Damn it, damn it! Wow!!

‘You crazy black dragon! How dare I use my own equipment! How hard did I work to get this?!’

It was broken into five pieces and collected using gacha! If it weren't for Alsin's blessings, he wouldn't have been able to collect them all.!

As I remembered the days of hard work collecting pieces of the flag, tears welled up in my eyes without me realizing it. It's really unfair. under.

Still, I merged into Super-Kim Ash... … ? fusion… … ? Jogress… … ? Anyway, thanks to becoming one with the real Ash, I can still use most of the features in the flag..

Aside from that, I'm upset because I burned the special equipment..

‘After, it's done.’

Still, there was at least some preservation of functionality. Let’s take a look at the next equipment..

‘[[Master of the High Tower], repairable. [Light and Shadow], repairable.’

The armor made from Lord of the Flies, [Master of the High Tower], was almost broken into pieces, but it was a piece of equipment with the concept of disassembly and fusion in the first place. Fortunately, it can be repaired.

The flagpole made of midnight sun [Light and Shadow] is... … We used them together as bait, but this equipment uncoupled itself at the moment of danger and split into the scabbard and ceremonial sword, avoiding further damage..

It resembles the original, so its survival instinct is amazing..

All the rest of my equipment was neatly stored in my inventory. Is it fortunate?.

‘Next, Evangeline…….’

I mean, this is another big deal. I opened the equipment damage report of our frontier earldom successor..

‘Cross Family Spear, Cross Family Shield, Destruction…….’

Oh my god it's crazy! My exclusive equipment that I painstakingly upgraded and even applied with spirits... … No, Evangeline’s special equipment is-!

‘You crazy Night Bringer motherfucker! Change the name immediately, to ‘Dedicated Equipment Breaker’! You say you're going to destroy the world, but you just select special equipment and leave it all behind! die! I'm already dead but I'm dying again!’

I gritted my teeth while cursing..

Fortunately, Kelly Bay says that although the exterior of the equipment is completely broken, the core of the interior is intact, so there is room to do something about it.…….

“Ugh. Everyone worked so hard.”

Okay, let's think positively. How is it that the child didn't die and only the equipment was lost? Kelly Bay might work some magic..

Evangeline's armor [Snowwhite] was also quite damaged, but fortunately it is being repaired since it is a magic armor capable of self-repair..

‘Next, Nightmare Slayers.’

The [Slayer of the Full Moonlight] that was attached to Kuilan was separated again. Kuilan himself also lost all the wolf curses and returned to being a normal male character..

According to his own words, he realized something deeply, and his level of martial arts improved.…….

‘Putting on two layers of equipment was a mess.…….’

To be honest, the specifications have been downgraded. The negative trait ‘glass body’ has also returned. You no longer receive buffs or debuffs depending on the waxing and waning of the moon..

‘Instead, [Slayer of Full Moonlight] was purified..’

This purified leather cloak gave Kuilan several significant buffs..

While wearing the equipment, you are immune to all types of curses..

‘The 'glass body' may have been accepted as a kind of curse, but the person wearing it is Tunkuilan. I need to wear it 24 hours a day..

‘……What happens in summer??’

Oh, I don't know. First of all, I think I will get through this winter..

Anyway, the purified [Full Moon Slayer] provides several other buffs to Kuilan, but overall its effects are focused on speed..

Now that he has lost the curse of the wolf, Kuilan's tenacity has weakened significantly. It seems like the character concept is changing a bit due to the evasion damage, but I wonder if I can handle it well..

‘I hope you can endure it, Beast King..’

But the wolf's curse has passed. So is he a prisoner? Considering that Isin's blessing is still present, it seems that the tribal god still thinks of Kuilan as an avatar.…….

‘Okay, next.’

In addition, all of the Nightmare Slayers we possessed were 'purified'..

It was thanks to the strong will of each equipment user that they overcame the darkness in their hearts and awakened..

In addition to the various equipment made from the nightmare corps commander's magic core, the various equipment forged from the evil dragons' magic core (Dragon Heart) was also purified safely..

And as they overcame the ordeal, their specifications improved dramatically..

Of these, what is worth mentioning is Lucas' equipment..

‘No, [Xcarnival] this could be purified.?’

The magic sword [Excarnival] became the holy sword [Excalibur].

If we look at the details, it would be the opposite, the holy sword [Excalibur] was corrupted and became the demon sword [Xcarnival], and it would be correct to say that it regained its original form this time..

‘……The sword he was shaking for fresh food because he was hungry was a holy sword.?’

I am very embarrassed as this is an unexpected result..

Anyway, the holy sword [Excalibur], which has regained its true form, possesses incredible performance..

The specs are even better than the [granted sword] that Lucas originally used. The special features that come with it are also insane..

‘Looking at it this way, it wasn't all bad things..’

I groaned as I looked through the list of purified equipment. To be honest, it may be a blessing in disguise, but in terms of equipment, the benefit is greater..

‘More than anything, I gained a lot again..’

Not just purified equipment.

That damn thing... … No, it's not that fucking bad. The reward was also huge because we defeated the black dragon, the most shitty monster in history..

First, a huge amount of material was collected from the Night Bringer's body..

I couldn't get a whole body because I burned it all with a bombardment of light at the last minute, but I was still able to dig up a lot of it..

A dragon's entire body can be said to be made of top-quality equipment..

The materials for that equipment are piled up right in front of the city, as big as a large mountain. All kinds of scales, bones, horns and claws... … All kinds of parts were swept into the blacksmith shop..

Without exaggeration, this is enough to provide weapons and armor for all soldiers on the front line. Equipment across the frontline will be able to increase tiers..

‘Among them, the other materials to pay attention to are magic core and dragon heart..’

Night Bringer was composed of a Dragon Heart, the most important magic core at the heart, and another magic core assigned to each of the seven heads..

So, it is normal to have one dragon heart and seven magical cores..

‘One dragon heart yields eight magical cores..’

At first, I wondered why this was the case, but after examining the recovered magic core, I could understand the reason..

One magical core belonged to a Skyrian who was absorbed by the Night Bringer at the last moment. The body was lost, but the magic core was not absorbed and this is what remains..

I could tell because I pierced the Skyrian's heart with my flag, and there was a trace of the piercing left behind..

“…….”

What should I do with this?.

Should I make it into equipment, or.

I carefully looked at the rest of the list..

Seven other intact magical cores (in fact, six auxiliary heads had been eaten by Jormungand, so were recovered from Jormungand's torn body)).

And, just like that, a dragon heart left traces of being pierced into my flag..

‘Become our equipment as much as you destroy it, Night Bringer.…….’

Since the blacksmith shop is very busy right now, I decided to request equipment production later when I have more free time..

I raised my head and looked at the golden and white boxes piled in one corner of the office..

It is a stage clear reward. In addition to EX grade boxes, I got as many as 8 SSR boxes..

‘In the game, I was wondering if I should eat 10 in one round.…….’

I think I've eaten about 20 boxes of SSR over the past 3 years of this strategy. Why are you so generous? Ader, did this bastard use some tricks? or not…….

‘Looking back, the set items were all put together in a strange way... … They are very good at distributing items secretly..’

It's a game with terrible difficulty, but I guess it has to be said that there is at least some conscience in this regard. Mmm.

Thinking, I reached for the box. I was thinking of opening it right now..

But, that was then..

Doo doo doo doo!

I heard someone running down the hallway.,

Suddenly!

The office door opened violently..

I looked there in surprise. It was Lucas who came in. Lucas, who was breathing heavily, shouted..

“It's a big deal, my lord.!”

“What's going on??!”

Lucas is so embarrassed? What the hell is going on??

‘Is it an enemy attack? Either that or infighting? Construction site collapse? Leaving a member country? Which one??’

All kinds of thoughts pass through my mind at once.,

“Hey, Evangeline! Evangeline……!”

“Evangeline?!”

I was even more embarrassed when the name of our cavalry commander came up..

Why Evangeline? Are you hurt? Did she have an accident? Did you run away from home? Was he suffering from PTSD so much that he poured pink paint on a building under restoration? Damn which one?!

And Lucas gave an answer I could never have imagined..

“I received a confession-!”

“……?”

I didn't understand for a moment so I just sat there blankly..

I screamed without realizing it.

“Do not lie-!”
