I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 737
737. [STAGE 45] Zombie Defense (2)
“2Car bombing canceled! raise your altitude!”
“yes?!”
“Don't talk nonsense, comfort me! right now-!”
However, the empty space is huge, and it is not the type of object that can be moved immediately by commanding it..
The pilot, who heard my command, urgently moved the control stick and tried to raise La Mancha upward again..
a little late.
That's it!
Ahhhhh!
A group of zombies let out a terrible roar and immediately clung to each other like a swarm of ants, building a pillar with their bodies..
Blocks of spontaneously stacking corpses…….
A pillar of zombies was created in real time and soared upward, and the zombies climbed over each other's bodies and tangled endlessly into the sky..
Dozens of such zombie pillars rushed towards the airship at once. A startled Macmillan stretched out her hand..
“Strafing, carry out! Shake them off-!”
Doo doo doo doo-!
Dozens of machine guns attached to the airship fired fire all at once..
Bullets rained down like rain, leaving holes in the bodies of the approaching zombie monsters..
However, these guys are not just zombies. The monsters lurking in District 10 of the Lake Kingdom have become zombies..
Even though he has lost his reason and his abilities have also been lost, his body is strong..
Surviving despite being hit by dozens of bullets, the zombies stubbornly built up the pillar and eventually climbed up.…….
It stuck to the bottom of the airship. I was shocked..
“Altitude gain! Can't it go any faster?!”
“We're doing our best, but the monsters are building up the pillars faster.……!”
La Mancha was lowering its altitude for bombing a while ago..
Even if I urgently tried to raise the altitude again, it was not something I could do as quickly as I wanted, and during the short time I hesitated, a column of zombies rushed in..
‘Anyway, how can they build pillars as tall as a high-rise building so quickly with their own bodies??!’
I feel like it's faster than I can build an automatic turret, damn it.!
There is no way zombies could have carried out such organized and clearly purposeful actions on their own. I quickly looked around and eventually found it..
The very center of the zombie army.
A gigantic demon woman glaring at us, with ominous green magic flowing from her deer antlers extending in all directions..
“Cromwell……!”
While spitting out the name of the opposing army commander, it was as if my own voice was heard..
《Kaaaaaa-!》
Cromwell roared and raised his hands..
Tremendous green magical energy spread out in all directions from her gigantic deer antlers, and the zombies within the range let out screams all at once, building pillars at even greater speed..
“Shake it off! Hurry up and rise-!”
The time it took for La Mancha, which had lowered its altitude for bombing, to raise its mass again was actually very short..
However, without missing that brief gap, the zombies approached by building pillars with their bodies, and succeeded in approaching La Mancha one by one..
When we came to, we were tied up in the air, held by several zombie pillars..
“What is this nonsense?……!”
A look of disappointment flashed across the faces of all the flight attendants..
Zombies continued to attach themselves, and red lights came on on the aircraft's various sensors. Emergency warning sounds rang out from all directions, hurting my ears..
Macmillan shouted urgently..
“The force pulling you down becomes stronger! If this continues, we will fall, Your Highness.-!”
“Tsk……!”
Recognizing that the situation was far beyond common sense, I racked my brain to find a solution..
Do you think I will let it fall? Diarmuddin and I are here. So what tools are available now?…….
That was right then..
Macmillan, who was checking the radar, looked at me with a puzzled face..
“Your Majesty, I am reporting to you.!”
“What is it again this time??!”
“A group of aircraft was discovered approaching rapidly from the north.!”
I opened my eyes wide at the unexpected sound..
North?
So, in the crossroads direction?
“They are flying in straight formation! This… … It's a flying force.!”
There's a flying force coming from the Crossroads.?
That can't be true, La Mancha is the only air force we have.…….
“The northern sky will be reflected on the screen.!”
At Macmillan's direction, one of the crew members manipulated a magic panel to project an image of the northern sky..
And what I saw there…….
“?!”
They were creatures with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion..
“This… … It's a griffon?!”
And those knights on the gryphon, with their silver armor and scarlet cloaks fluttering,…….
「Flagship delivered to La Mancha.」
At that time, a communication came from La Mancha..
「This is the Sky Knights belonging to the Kingdom of Vermilion..」
Leader of the knights riding the griffon.
A boy with bright scarlet hair and a long braid on one side... … No, a man who had become the face of a young man in the short time I had not seen him was driving a griffon..
The man, somewhere between a boy and a young man, grinned and announced his name into the communication device..
「This is the leader, Mikhail Vermilion..」
“mikhail……?!”
「do you need help?」
Crown Prince of Vermilion Kingdom.
Leader of the Sky Knights.
The boy knight who lost everything and was frustrated on the front lines, overcame it on his own and returned to change his hometown, has returned..
Mikhail took out two long, sharp spears attached to the Griffon's saddle and held one in each hand. There was a scarlet gem encrusted at the end of the spear, and it was emitting dazzling magic light..
「Well, it doesn’t matter if you say it’s not necessary. I will help you however I want..」
“Haha……!”
The faces of everyone on the bridge brightened at the sudden appearance of this reinforcement..
Mikhail shouted in a sonorous voice as he threw his window forward..
「Sky Knights, charge! Save La Mancha!」
I love you so much!
Mikhail charged at the forefront with his spear in front..
They were followed by as many as 50 Griffon knights..
The Sky Knights flew in at incredible speeds and rushed at the zombie pillar with each weapon engulfed in magical light.,
Kwaaang-!
It destroyed the zombie pillar in an instant with its overwhelming destructive power..
Ahhh!
Gwaooooh!
Zombies fell from the burst pillar, letting out an ugly scream..
In particular, Mikhail's performance was terrifying, swinging his two spears like windmills and literally crushing a column of zombies..
Griffons also crushed the heads of zombies that came close to them with their huge feet and pecked them with their beaks..
Due to the activities of the Sky Knights, the zombie pillar was loosened, and La Mancha was able to shake off the zombies' reach and gradually increase its altitude..
After ascending to a safe altitude and circling around to confirm that the situation was safe, Mikhail spoke into the communication device..
「Delivered to La Mancha.」
There was a mischievous smile on the boy knight's face..
「Is there a small place for our griffons to rest inside that large assault ship? After coming a long way and fighting a battle, everyone seemed tired..」
I grabbed the communication device and said.
“Delivered to the Sky Knights. This is Ash ‘Bornhater’ Everblack, commander of the World Defense Front..”
A smile appeared on my face too..
“Allows goodness. I'm going to open the deck. Please feel free to use it as if it were your own home..”
I continued..
“Welcome back to the front lines. mikhail.”
Mikhail grinned and gestured to his knights..
Then, about 50 Sky Knights circling around the aircraft began to land on the deck of the aircraft one by one..
***
“crown prince mikhail!”
Diarmudin was the first to run out to meet the kind Michael..
Mikhail, who took off his helmet and hung it on his griffon saddle, greeted Diarmudin with a smile..
“Dear Diermudin.”
Diarmudin approached and grabbed Mikhail's hand..
“I'm so glad you came back safely. I've been worried ever since you left…….”
“I was always worried about whether the front line here would be safe, so I'm glad to see you doing well..”
Then Mikhail held out his hand to me..
“I'm relieved you're safe too, Prince Ash..”
I held his hand tightly.
“It's really nice to see you alive again, Mikhail.……!”
we shook hands firmly.
There was more emotion in this handshake than in many words..
At that time, Mikhail, who made the sound, added.
“Oh, and… … I am no longer the crown prince.”
Not only Diarmudin, but I too was shocked..
I'm no longer the crown prince?
then… … As I said before, was he removed from his position as crown prince for taking responsibility for the defeat??
When we looked at him with concern, Mikhail looked embarrassed and instead of the helmet he had just taken off... … He took out a small gold crown and placed it on his head..
“He's the king now.”
“What?!”
Diarmudin and I were shocked at the same time..
Mikhail briefly described what happened after leaving the front here..
He faked his death and secretly returned to the Kingdom of Vermilion, and succeeded in gathering forces to follow him..
‘It is said that they rebelled against the 'Wizards' Elder Council' - the actual ruling force of the Vermilion Kingdom, who had been conducting homunculus genetic experiments to create a 'perfect king' - but the rebellion failed..
“Captured and imprisoned with my men. however…….”
“Well, by the way?”
“Suddenly, daylight disappeared from the world, and heavy snow fell like crazy..”
“ah……!”
The Kingdom of Vermilion is a country located at the northwest end of the continent..
Last time the Night Bringer wiped out daylight in the world, the northern part of the continent was particularly hit by heavy snowfall..
“Thanks to the night and the covering of snow, the country's security system was completely neutralized... … During that gap, I was able to gather people again and launch a counterattack against the council of elders..”
“I never thought it would go on like this…….”
The terrible disaster caused by the damn black dragon child served as an opportunity for Mikhail. People say that life is a mystery, but you really don't know..
“The rebellion was successful, and the Council of Elders collapsed completely. Now our Kingdom of Vermilion no longer does things like improve human breeds..”
Mikhail looked back..
Griffons occupying the hangar inside La Mancha were lying down comfortably and making purring sounds..
“After inheriting the throne and organizing the internal affairs of the country... … I came right away with all the gryphons and trained knights who can go to the front lines..”
“That's how it happened.”
This young crown prince... … No, the King also went on a grand adventure while away at the front here..
At that time, the knights of the Sky Knights came rushing up behind Mikhail. Mikhail smiled broadly and gestured to them..
“Let me introduce you. This is the new Sky Knights. They are all trustworthy people who have followed me since the rebellion. Everyone is a homunculus like me, and they are also enhanced humans..”
The knights of the Sky Knights all showed respect to me. Diarmudin and I also bowed to each other..
Among them, five male knights looked at me and gave me a subtle look. Mikhail introduced carefully..
“This is my sister’s husbands..”
“ah.”
Are you talking about the older sister who was originally engaged to me but immediately broke off the engagement?.
After that, my sister said she had five husbands due to the shock of breaking off her engagement, and it seems that they were these people. I understand why you look at me in a subtle way.…….
“My sister is now staying in the kingdom and stabilizing the country on my behalf. He's so smart and strong, he'll do better than me..”
Mikhail then pointed to the five female knights standing behind him..
“And this is my fiancee I mentioned before... … not.”
For some reason, Mikhail's face became dark..
“my wife... … I mean, queens..”
“…….”
The female knights took off their helmets one after another and looked at Mikhail with fierce, pointed eyes..
The air in the hangar suddenly became cold. I was drenched in cold sweat and carefully asked quietly..
“……Well, why is the air like this??”
“……Actually, I came right after the wedding. I faked it and said it was my honeymoon..”
What is it?!
“The condition for these children's participation in the rebellion was that they marry me officially..”
“so……?”
“So, as soon as the rebellion was successful, we put the country in order, held a coronation ceremony and wedding ceremony as if roasting beans over lightning, and then… … Now they want to go on a honeymoon. I'm worried about the situation at the World Defense Front again..”
“…….”
“So we said, let's go on a honeymoon in the south, and we all... … This is how it came. Hehehe.”
Queen Vermillion×5’s gaze became even colder. Mikhail desperately avoided that gaze..
Oh my gosh, it's a honeymoon destination and the place you came to is a monster front.…….
I asked cautiously.
“I'm still happy……?”
Then Mikhail smiled brightly..
For some reason, there were a few tears in my eyes.…….
He gave a thumbs up and said this..
“Ash, you must get married too. Be sure to do it……!”
