I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 729

729. [Free exploration] Welcome to Zombieland

After completing the final strategy meeting.

Ader disappeared to make her own preparations. Now we won't be able to see it until Stage 50, the final match..

“Okay, then we need to prepare to survive until the final boss battle..”

stage right now 45.

This is the boss stage again. If you mess up here, it's game over without even seeing the final boss's face. I need to come to my senses.

So, we formed an exploration team into the dungeon and sent it out to scout.…….

“what?”

When I heard the identity of the enemy I had to face in this boss stage, I muttered in confusion..

“It's a zombie?!”

***

The monsters you have to face in Stage 45 are zombies..

To be precise, it is a 'zombified' 'demon guardian corps'..

‘What did these people do when they died? And what did you do to survive?……?’

It's full of questions, but anyway, it's a zombie, a devil, and a monster. I guess I should kill him well..

First of all, unlike other monsters, demon monsters do not have clear strengths or weaknesses. Instead, it has superior stats in all respects to humans and can use equipment like humans..

The Demon Guardian Corps is the highest corps among the demon species and has superior specifications and very good equipment..

These kids have turned into zombies.……?

‘In the end, should I plan a strategy thinking that I am a zombie with crappy specs?.’

And if it is a demonic guardian corps, the leader would be the demonic guardian corps leader - 'Cromwell'..

This devil peacock, the pinnacle of the devil species, is armed with various powers to control his minions. The demonic guardian corps she commands fight like a well-trained army..

If she had clashed with her original corps, the battle would have been like a battle with a powerful special forces unit. A small elite army and its commander must have infiltrated the city and cleverly harassed us..

‘No, but it's a zombie…….’

The zombies in this world are not a race or an army, but a kind of 'state'.

He comes back from death, loses his sense of reason, and just attacks the opponent in front of him... … Moreover, it is a state of ‘contagiousness’.

I have also encountered legions of monsters in this zombie state in the game. When bitten, allies also become 'infected', and if they die in that state, they are resurrected as zombies and join the enemy army..

‘It's not like in the Earth movie where you turn into a zombie as soon as you bite, but it's a tiring enemy anyway..’

If you think that these guys are in that state too, it would be okay to think of all the special forces with great bodies turning into zombies and attacking them.……?

‘It's similar to the Blood Ghoul, but also slightly different..’

I made a noise while remembering the old stage 5 memories..

I eventually came to a conclusion.

‘I guess I'll have to take a look for myself..’

I think we need to take a closer look at the status of the zombified demon species in order to plan this battle..

I immediately ordered.

“Lucas, gather all the heroes!”

When I called, Lucas immediately came running in a huff. I handed it down to Lucas one after another..

“Select people to directly explore the dungeon.!”

***

I told the summoned heroes about their opponents for this stage..

After dealing with all kinds of monsters, no one was surprised that they were now zombies and demons..

‘No, aren't you all a bit too boring? Everyone is so disciplined?’

Rather, I was a little disappointed..

Anyway, zombies and demons are a regular part of horror movies. I was hoping that at least one person would let out a hiss or aaaaah.…….

“Whoa, Lily, I miss your Liz days.…….”

“……yes? What are you saying??”

Lily had just opened a document and was making a list of water-based artifacts that would work well against zombies and demons..

He has become so mentally strong, is this the power of a mother?…….

“Hmm, anyway!”

Clearing his throat, he called for attention and continued speaking..

“This exploration does not have any great purpose. This zombie devil... … Demon zombie... … Anyway, I'm just trying to judge the general condition of these children by looking at them for myself..”

I nodded my head in front of all the attention..

“So, I have no intention of engaging in a full-scale battle..”

“if…….”

“Like the previously dispatched reconnaissance team, the team entering this time is also a reconnaissance team. Just look a little deeper and find out..”

I briefly explained to the heroes the characteristics of demons and zombies.

The specs are awesome, and if you get bitten, you get infected..

In other words, if you want to go on a deep scouting trip to a place full of these guys,…….

“I will return as the fastest-moving friends on our world defense front..”

Must be fast.

Take a quick look and run away. That is the concept of this reconnaissance expedition..

“So, I'm trying to select those among you who are fast.…….”

At the same time as I looked around the audience,,

pabababat!

Everyone raised their hands without worrying about who went first..

……What, you all think you're fast now?

“As you probably know, Ash..”

Verdandi smiled, placed his hand on his chest, and spoke confidently..

“We elves can't lag behind any race in terms of speed..”

“Hoo.”

“And as you probably know, I am an assassin… … It can be said that it is the fastest on the battlefield here..”

Verdandi cocked his nose as if to say,.

I laughed without realizing it. That's because he hasn't been able to see his younger brother Skuld since he died... … Because it was Verdandi’s bright face.

Then Kelly Bay, who was listening, burst out laughing..

“As you probably know, Ash!”

“yes……?”

“In the underground crypts, we dwarves are faster than any other race.!”

“Huh…….”

“And the Lake Kingdom dungeon is structured like an underground crypt! In other words, dwarves are faster than elves.!”

Immediately after, Verdandi and Kelly Bay started having a snowball fight..

It was a classic rivalry: elves vs dwarves. Oh oh…….

Kelly Bay's face also brightened a lot. So I felt a little more at ease.

But there was no time for admiration. This was because all kinds of heroes appealed to themselves..

“Captain, please embrace me too.!”

Now all the remaining wolf fur has fallen out and Kuilan, who has completely turned into a human, jumps out..

“I have never lost in a sprint since I was young.!”

“Then long distance?”

“You're touching a sore spot, ugh.…….”

Kuilan was instantly crushed..

There's no way a sunfish with 5 stamina stats would be strong over long distances. Hmm, he's definitely fast for short distances though.…….

Next, Ivory Tower Lord Diarmudin made a subtle appeal..

“I'm old, but.”

“yes.”

“Still, he's very fair for his age.?”

“yes.”

“More than anything, you know? Can I fly? Ah, so fast?”

The old wizard flapped his robes with a triumphant look on his face..

That's right, this guy is a young delinquent.…….

Additionally, it can provide wide-area flight to allies. I can say that it fits the concept of this exploration very well..

After giving extra points, I looked at the heroes who came after them. Let's see.

“Thorkell?”

“…….”

The best tank on our front line rolled his eyes in his helmet..

After a while, Thorkel spoke carefully..

“If I put my mind to it, I'm pretty fast too.?”

mister… … Where is your conscience?……?

“There's a mirror over there, so go check your size..”

“Pfft…….”

Thorkel looked bitter and retreated..

In the first place, you have strengths other than speed. Don't get competitive here for no reason..

In addition, other heroes stepped forward one by one and showed off their speed..

And even during this, the gambling club just looked the other way and didn't even raise their hand. I'm glad you guys are consistent.

After hearing the introductions one by one, I looked at the children who were still quiet..

“But why is the main party saying nothing??”

Then Junior, startled, pointed at himself..

“yes? Of course we're all going, aren't we??”

“no. I'm going to pick just five of the people gathered here and go..”

It's a reconnaissance mission, so why rush in? Only the minimum number of people should go. So, pick the fastest one..

Junior, embarrassed, quickly shook his head and said:.

“Well, I'm quick at magic calculations.……!”

“stay.”

“Sheesh.”

Damian next to him also wrapped his head and thought about it, and then it started to sparkle! she shouted with her brightened face..

“Prince! I'm a fast bullet!”

“huh. leaving out.”

“Hing…….”

I saw the two remaining main party members..

“Lucas, Evangeline. You guys have no appeal points?”

Then Lucas, who was standing leisurely with his back to me, smiled..

“Do you really need to do it? You know better how fast I am and how useful I am..”

“…….”

Evangeline next to him said this as she munched on the snack she brought home..

“I'm looking forward to it~ I can see you hitting the ground on the spot and regretting not taking me with you..”

“Ugh……!”

Bad luck, knight duo.……!

But it is also true. Because I had planned to take these two with me from the beginning..

So, this scouting party was organized like this..

me. Verdandi. Diarmuddin. Lucas. Evangeline.

I appreciate that everyone is motivated, but I didn't want to create beautiful memories (+ scars) by getting bitten by zombies, so I formed a squad of only those who were really quick on their feet..

‘Since there is the wizard Diarmudin, you will be able to deal with various situations, there is Verdandi who can move secretly, and there is also a knight duo who can push everyone away like a tank if the situation arises..’

This is a great combination. Mmmmm.

While thinking about it, I was suddenly shocked..

‘No, rather the slowest thing at this party is…….’

Isn't it me?……?

Am I undercutting the average speed of this fastest party?……?

“…….”

Well, of course the average speed is slower than these guys! Still, if you become a full-fledged prince, you have many means of transportation! It was a time when he was so convinced by himself.

“Oh my, look at the time! Nanny said she had work to do today, so I had to go get Sid.!”

Lily was surprised to see that it was already late evening, and started manipulating the buttons on the magic device attached to the wheelchair..

“Then, I will prepare my water-based artifacts well until the next defense battle! I'll go first, Your Highness.!”

I quickly nodded..

“Okay, quickly go get Sid.!”

“thank you!”

As soon as I allow it,

Going to school-!

A magical spark flashed behind Lily's wheelchair, and the next moment Lily was dragging the wheelchair out of the parlor at breakneck speed..

“Well then, everyone, see you tomorrow.!”

And then he glided down the hallway and left the manor house in the blink of an eye..

“…….”

Everyone watched with open mouths as Lily's wheelchair quickly moved away from the window..

I muttered helplessly..

“……No, he's not the fastest here.?”

I use a wheelchair to drift and boost.?

Be strong, mom…….

***

next day.

Our five-person scouting party, comprised of the fastest heroes, entered the Lake Kingdom dungeon..

and… … I had to find it right away..

One element I overlooked.

“Oh my god, the zombie apocalypse is everywhere.-!”

Running away from the dark city, I screamed..

“These bastards attacked and infected other monster legions.…….”

I looked back trembling.

“The numbers have increased-!”

At that place…….

That's it!

Gwaooooh!

An army of all kinds of monsters, all of them turned into zombies with bitten faces, were running like crazy after us..

A zombified demon guardian corps attacked and infected another monster corps, and that monster corps attacked and infected another monster corps.…….

Most of the monster army in the Lake Kingdom turned into zombies.!

The numbers were much higher than what the scouts had reported just a day earlier.!

“city…….”

And finally, someone among us who couldn't stand it screamed..

“I hate it!”

It was Diarmuddin..

With the old wizard's faint screams, zombies filled the alleys and streets of the Lake Kingdom and chased us endlessly..
