Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 744
744. [STAGE 45] Curse of Dawn
Cromwell was walking forward.
‘what…….’
It crawls forward across the floor, holding its two massively enlarged arms like front legs..
I found a group of dead ants crushed by my hand, which had turned into the stump of my tree, and thought blankly..
‘where am i going?’
The pieces of thought that had been torn to shreds slowly became tangled and gathered together..
‘Oh yeah.’
To the Crossroads. I was on my way to the royal gates..
‘……why?’
Why were you going there??
‘Royalties... … to destroy.’
Why should royalties be destroyed??
‘'Cause that's the last mission I got.’
Why do I have to carry out my mission??
‘So that… … Because we can protect the honor of our corps.’
our corps……?
‘Great demon species... … We left our distant home to conquer all dimensions.…….’
When my thoughts reached this point.
Cromwell was puzzled..
‘hometown……?’
where is that?
I can't remember clearly…….
Cromwell had no memories of his hometown. Because he left so young, he did not have much attachment to his country or race..
However, I liked the story the elder told about his hometown..
A legendary story about a star system that is the home of great and distant demons, where the Milky Way is gathered to create a path and the sun is gathered to illuminate the city.…….
‘elder?’
Cromwell's slow but unstoppable steps suddenly stopped..
‘who was that……?’
Very slowly, the face of an old devil appeared in my mind..
‘Ah, dad…….’
thud…….
Cromwell's steps came to a complete halt..
The army of zombie monsters that followed her also stopped..
‘Listen, Dad. I worked really hard.’
Cromwell opened his mouth and tried to speak, but,
《Wow, ah, ahhh…….》
Her vocal cords had already mutated into a structure that made it impossible to produce language..
But Cromwell didn't even realize that, and continued talking..
Toward the image of an old demon species that stood before one's eyes, like a phantom, that one followed like a father in one's childhood..
‘As my father said, I became a corps commander, formed an alliance with the Demon King, and tried to lead our corps well..’
‘But, I failed. He served as the Demon King's representative for the throne, but was defeated miserably. The royal castle fell, and I was chewed up by the black dragon..’
‘I wanted to do well, I did my best... … I wanted to become a good corps commander and lead our corps well..’
‘This was the only way for me, and I completely screwed it up..’
From a very young age, when I became aware of my own existence..
Cromwell was educated as a corps commander and grew up that way. He grew up with expectations from everyone around him..
- Your Excellency is so talented, you will be a good commander..
- Lead our legions to victory.
- Your Excellency will succeed. We all believe so.
but, but.
no one told me.
After defeat, not victory. Behind failure, not success. What should I do?.
After being hurt so badly that my heart was broken…….
How can I overcome that hurt and get back up again?.
‘Help me, Dad. Please comfort me.’
‘I can't breathe. I feel like I'm going to die.’
Cromwell howled at the welcome of the elder who said nothing..
‘Why are you just looking at me like that? Because I couldn't meet my father's expectations?’
‘Would I have wanted to fail? Do you think it was me who wanted to destroy our corps?!’
‘But what can I do when this happens despite my best efforts?…….’
‘Please, let me know… … After failure, after defeat, I like what maybe?’
Cromwell cried and stretched out his hand toward the elder who still did not respond.-
Kwasik!
Quad, quack, quack! Phuwak……!
The next moment, the elder's illusion turned into a piece of meat..
Only then, too late, did Cromwell realize the taste of blood and flesh left in his mouth..
‘ah…….’
I looked blankly at the traces of the elder who had disappeared, leaving only blood on the floor..
Cromwell slowly raised his head and looked around..
‘Where is everyone??’
Then, the image of the abandoned cathedral from a few days ago slowly appeared in my mind..
Cromwell slowly recalled that he had devoured every last one of his compatriots..
Like playing recorded video in reverse.…….
All the scattered pieces of flesh, bone, and internal organs that had been torn to shreds and entered his mouth came out and came together, turning into the appearance of legionnaires..
And they looked at Cromwell with their empty, black eyes, and with their black mouths they spoke,.
- This is the last chance we got by sacrificing our lives, Commander..
- Royalty must be destroyed..
- This time, I absolutely have to succeed..
A slow smile appeared on Cromwell's dazed face..
‘Ah, I see..’
There is nothing behind failure. Once you lose, you're just dead..
This time, thankfully, he sacrificed all of his people's lives to survive, so…….
‘Now all you have to do is succeed.’
okay.
That previous defeat was ‘something that never happened’. It is ‘invalid’. Didn't it come back to life like this?.
Capture Crossroads and destroy King Inse. All you have to do is run down the road to success again..
Raise the honor of the race, and restore Cromwell's legions.…….
again……?
《Wow!-!》
Cromwell roared fiercely and began to take the steps he had stopped at..
The monster, unable to acknowledge the defeat it had already experienced and choosing to resurrect as a corpse, roared and ran forward..
In order not to fail again.
To destroy royalties before our eyes.
***
《Wow!-!》
At the forefront of the zombie monster army.
Cromwell, who was leading the army in the form of a giant reindeer, paused for a moment and then let out a terrifying roar..
thud-! thud-! thud-!
The gigantic body approached at once, followed by an army of zombies. The mountains, rivers and trees trembled in response to their advance..
As I watched this, I stretched out my arms forward and shouted.
“‘Move the ‘wall’-!”
We have been preparing continuously since the last Black Dragon Battle..
It was the moment when the new walls of Crossroads were revealed..
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
As soon as my command was issued, a magic rail was laid along the guide wire installed in front of the southern wall of the Crossroads..
The Iron Horse Legion we defeated earlier..
Using their magic core and parts, I imitated their movement system and implemented it... … It is a magic railway that allows you to designate a new route every time..
And along this railroad…….
Slam! Slam! Clap-!
A nine-horsepower train that was waiting came out..
It had a simple shape that could be better called a long cart with wheels rather than a train, and each car had one black magic core installed..
Nine trains lined up around the outside of the southern wall separated from each other and lined up at regular intervals..
Lily shouted as she confirmed that the train was in position..
“‘‘Castle Wall’ maneuver preparation complete, deployment.-!”
next moment.
Cheolkeong……!
Nine magical cores installed on each train rose into the air at once..
All nine floating magic cores sparkled with eerie beauty, especially the center magic core was large and gigantic..
I smiled bitterly as I looked at the magic core emitting a strange black light. That's enough to stand out.
The magic core in the middle is an EX-grade dragon heart obtained from Night Bringer..
The remaining 8 magic cores are SSR grade magic cores obtained from the Night Bringer.!
Charrrrrrrr……!
At the same time as the nine magical cores resonated with each other and spewed out magical energy to the surroundings, the 'parts' mounted inside the train were taken out and began to be assembled in no time..
The keel forms the framework, and the keel is densely covered with dragon lin..
On top of this gigantic structure that was assembled according to design in the blink of an eye, nine magic cores sprinkled magic like ink to fill in the gaps and solidify the frame..
The explanation was long, but the actual installation time was only a few tens of seconds..
thud……!
When I came to my senses, there was a newly built black wall in front of the southern wall of the Crossroads..
“…….”
I smiled contentedly in front of the soldiers who were astonished with their mouths wide open..
A complex equipment and artifact built by concentrating the maximum capabilities of the World Guardian Front..
The first ever mobile fortress. the name is.
“[[Knight Bringer]!”
A bringer who carries a knight... … It means, but it's a bit of a weird name. Honestly, the name was created with the intention of making fun of that black dragon bastard.!
A movement system was created using the Iron Demon King's magical core and the materials of his army..
A combination and separation system was implemented by pouring in the ghost king's magic core and the materials of his army..
I poured all the magic core and materials obtained from Night Bringer into it to make it..
It's as if all the ingredients of three corps were included. It is the product of a crazy feast of ingredients that even poured almost the entire black dragon..
‘This is something I've been thinking about ever since I saw that New Terra's walls had a previous installation option.…….’
It was possible to actually implement it because the right monster army appeared one after another..
chuck! chuck! chuck!
Soldiers climbed up in an orderly manner on the beautifully installed, strongest castle wall in history..
This castle wall, which is a magical artifact in itself, has a protective power that cannot be matched by anything, but just by activating it, it consumes magical power. Of course, since Crossroads is a magic stone producing area, it is easy to spread magic power, but it is still advantageous in terms of resources to deploy it as soon as possible before the battle..
“By the way, Your Highness.”
Lily, who stayed up all night adjusting the Black Dragon Castle Wall until just yesterday, asked with a tired face..
“Wouldn’t it have been easy to just build a wall in front of the Crossroads using these materials? Why... … Was there a reason to put all the combination, separation, transformation, and movement systems into the castle walls??”
Then Kelly Bay, who was looking at the castle wall with an moved face, shouted back on his behalf..
“That's right... … Because it's cool!”
“…….”
“Seriously, Ash, this guy is a genius. No, how could this be… … Are you thinking about building a fucking mobile fortress? I know romance, boy. Romance.”
Lily's eyes narrowed. No, that's Kelly Bay's opinion. Of course, it's good to be cool, but.
‘Since it is a wall that can be moved, separated, and combined, it has the advantage of being able to be installed anywhere..’
In other words, if you install the wall forward, it becomes a forward base..
You can set up a small base by sending just three trains. From the Black Lake to this crossroad, it can be operated by creating an advance base at a strategic point, then dismantling it and retreating..
This time, it was completed so quickly that it could not be deployed forward, but after this… … You will be able to use it flexibly from stage 46 to the final stage, stage 50..
After hearing my explanation, Lily nodded and looked at the army of zombie monsters approaching..
“Everyone on the front lines worked hard together to create this, so I hope they can endure the remaining battles well..”
“Just endure it well.”
The blood, sweat and tears of the people who went into building this grandiose gimmick wall are also amazing..
In addition to this…….
‘Night Bringer, that bastard... … Although we were enemies.’
He was really stupidly strong.!
And this castle wall, completely rebuilt from head to toe, is also strong.’!
Giiiiiiing……!
Inside the castle walls, nine magical cores resonated and produced the sound of artifacts operating..
The black castle wall, itself a water-based artifact, stirred magic as it prepared for defense.…….
Sooooo!
Ahhhhh!
An army of zombie monsters rushed toward the castle wall like a flood..
