I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 79
◈ 079. [Side Story] Aigis Special Task Force Team 8 (2)
Aegis Special Forces Team 8.
The five members are as follows:.
[sub party1 (5/5)]
- Lv.35 God Hand (SR)
- Lv.29 Body Bag (R)
- Lv.28 Old Girl (R)
- Lv.25 Skull (N)
- Lv.22 Burnout (SR)
“They all have code names..”
After checking everyone's names, I briefly expressed my thoughts..
“Can you tell me your real name??”
“Sorry, Your Highness.”
Godhand bowed his head..
“For us, nameless chess pieces are enough. I forgot my real name.”
“Well, okay. I also took you under my command not because of your name but because of your abilities..”
I nodded while operating the system window and checking the five's stats..
“Let's see what your team can do?”
“Gladly. Every hair of our head is subject to you,.”
No, I don't need a turtleneck.…….
Anyway, first the team leader. God Hand.
“I am a metallurgist. To be exact, he is an iron mage..”
Godhand picked up the chain that had fallen on the floor..
“Any metal containing iron can be smelted into the desired form..”
“Hoo.”
The chain disintegrated into iron powder, and the next moment it turned into dozens of thin wires, and the wires tangled together for a long time and became a spear..
Godhand lightly swung the spear in his hand and put it down on the ground..
Before I knew it, the spear had changed into the shape of a chain again..
“You can create different weapons depending on the enemies you encounter at each time..”
“indeed…….”
I nodded..
“They must have supplied metal on site and used it as weapons for their team members.?”
“You are correct.”
These are basically special agents. Activities in enemy territory are basic..
God Hand's ability to create a weapon even with his bare body would have been very useful in this regard..
Godhand then pointed to his subordinates..
“I will also introduce the abilities of my team members..”
The team 8 special forces members who took off their hoods were all elves with green hair, brown eyes, and long ears..
And everyone looks young.
The situation for the elves is so bad that even these children have to sacrifice their lives for the entire race to survive..
“Bodybag is a telekineticist. It can freely lift heavy objects and even lift and move all five of us into the air. I also throw the weapons I refined at once..”
Body Bag, a female elf with plump cheeks still visible, bowed her head politely to me..
Telekinesis. It must be very useful..
“The remaining three are all archers. However, even archers have different specialties..”
God Hand introduced the remaining three in turn..
“Old Girl is an agent specializing in close-range shooting. He uses a dual crossbow and is a specialist in interpersonal combat. I also have a lot of experience hunting monsters..”
I don't know why 'Old' was included in the code name, but he was the youngest-looking agent out of all of them..
The old girl smiled and waved at me..
I waved my hand at him without realizing it, but suddenly came to my senses. what?!
“Skull is a long-range sniper. I use a great bow. With the skill to hide noise, there is no one among us who can do secret work..”
Skull, the only N-rank character among the five, lowered his head indifferently..
The youthful face of the boy bore a deep scar from being cut by a blade. It looks like you've been through a lot..
“And burnout…….”
Godhand, who was about to introduce the last agent, Burnout, paused for a moment..
“…… He is our team's fire agent. A specially designed installation ballista is used. I can't control my abilities properly yet, but if I become more skilled, it will be of great help to Your Majesty..”
Last Agent Burnout.
The other team members all took off their muzzles, but this girl was still wearing it..
The tips of her light green hair were charred black as if they had been burned, and her brown eyes were also brimming with red..
I took a quick look at this child's abilities through the system window and swallowed dry saliva. This guy, if he grows up properly…….
“And please take this.”
Godhand took something out of his arms and held it out to me..
“This is the ‘leash’, our pledge of loyalty..”
When I received it, it looked like a small switch..
“What is this??”
“This is the operation button for the bomb necklace..”
Godhand showed his neck. Around his neck was a necklace that looked like it had been made by melting and hardening iron..
The red gem embedded in the necklace sparkles dangerously..
If you look closely, all five of you are wearing this necklace..
“It is a tool that allows you to remotely commit suicide if you are captured by the enemy..”
“…….”
“If we do this, you will likely trust us more..”
“No, I already believe it…….”
“Your Majesty will say so..”
Godhand glanced behind me..
“But not everyone else.”
Looking back, it was definitely true. Lucas and Evangeline seemed wary of the new sub-party members..
“Anyway, I have a general idea of your abilities..”
They said it was an oath of loyalty, but I didn't take it, so I took the bomb switch. You don't have to use it.
“But it seems like you've been fighting mainly against people, and the main enemy here on the monster front is monsters..”
“…….”
“Are you good at killing monsters??”
“I am sorry to inform you, Your Majesty..”
God Hand smiled faintly for the first time today..
“We are the monsters.”
A cogwheel that abandons morals and ethics and moves for the country..
That's the Aigis Special Task Force.
And among them, Team 8, who were willing to be abandoned for the sake of their own race..
A long time ago, they were out of the way of man..
“And yet, we haven't met a monster stronger than us..”
“You will have to prove that statement..”
I slowly got up.
“'Cause soon we'll have to hunt monsters.”
The five members of the special task force all followed me and stood up. I grinned and gestured towards Crossroads..
“let's go. I lived and died, but I still need to eat something..”
***
Immediately after returning to Crossroads.
All five members of the sub-party were accommodated in the spare room of the Crossroads Mansion, and only Lucas Evangeline and I entered the living room..
It was for a future meeting..
“They are criminals, my lord..”
As soon as the door closed, Lucas made a strong voice..
“He is also a high treason criminal who plotted treason.!”
“Well, right.”
The most common reason for executing criminals in the empire is treason..
Because it is a crime that is best accused in a broad sense..
“Are you really planning on hiring them? We never know when they might betray us!”
“But I also have the bomb necklace switch..”
I am careful that I may press it by mistake. I put it in inventory now.
“Lucas, I’m sure you also felt it during this free exploration. The fact that we are increasingly overwhelmed by our own efforts..”
“…….”
Perhaps remembering this free exploration, Lucas kept his mouth shut and was unable to refute anything..
White masked NPCs... … Nightcrawler unit. I almost got pinned down by those guys..
The deeper you go into the dungeon, the more unexpected threats appear. We need to reinforce our power as soon as possible..
This applies not only to free exploration but also to the defense stage right in front of you..
Now that Jupiter, who was the core force, has left due to injury, it is a death sentence and we have to use whatever we can..
“What do you think, Evangeline??”
When I asked, Evangeline touched her chin and slowly opened her mouth..
“I think the abilities of the Aigis Special Task Force are trustworthy. But hiring an elf is definitely risky..”
“There's a problem because I'm an elf?”
“Among the people of the empire, is there anyone who likes elves, or even other races? It may have a negative impact on your reputation as a lord..”
Humans and other races have been fighting for generations, and the racial war ended only a hundred years ago..
The fury of hatred and conflict engraved on the people of this world must be much deeper than I thought..
“Do you hate elves too??”
“If I were to be honest, I'm the type of person who doesn't have any ideas. I neither like it nor hate it.”
Evangeline shrugged and glanced outside the drawing room..
“It doesn't seem to be separate from that..”
“It doesn't seem to work?”
“To risk one's own death in order to save the entire species... … It's a heartbreaking story..”
Evangeline nodded at me..
“If you ask me which side, I am for it. No matter who you belong to or what your race is, it doesn't matter if you stop the monsters together.?”
I nodded and looked back at Lucas..
“Okay, Lucas. Let's do it like this.”
“Yes, my lord..”
“The success of this defense immediately. And to overcome the white mask guys during the next free exploration. For now, I'll just use those five friends until then..”
“…….”
“And if those friends are not that good in real life, just like you said, think of another way. how?”
Lucas bowed his head in silence..
“I cannot argue with what my lord decided in the first place. I just follow the will of my lord..”
For saying that, don't you get tackled often??
But any organization needs brakes. The opposing opinion also has a point..
There is no reason not to use those five, but it is true that there is also no reason to trust them very much..
‘What is certain is that power is needed right away..’
The new sub-party will be a useful force in the defensive battle just around the corner..
‘Anyway, you pulled a fun prank on me..’
I took out the official letter from the capital and read it again..
I sent reinforcements to appease them, and they sent me the condemned prisoners. They were all of a different race and belonged to the Aegis Special Task Force..
‘What kind of intention did they send it with?.’
I looked carefully at the name written in the signature line of the official document..
2nd Prince Fernandez ‘Ember Keeper’ Everblack.
This is Ash's older brother and the Minister of Administration in charge of the empire's internal affairs..
‘This is a character that has never appeared in the game.…….’
I folded the official document neatly and stuffed it into my arms, pressing my lips tightly together..
‘I need to be careful.’
Strategy until the true ending.
Not only monsters, but also the will of humans began to intervene from various places..
Everywhere is a rough road..
‘Breaking through that would be the taste of strategy, though..’
But honestly, I want to wake up more comfortably.!
***
That night.
I scared the convict convoy and chased them out of the city..
The commander of the convoy begged me to go after confirming the execution, but I immediately kicked him out on the grounds that I could no longer allow someone who had lied to the royal family into the city. get out!
Aegis Special Task Force Team 8 continues to stay in the manor house..
Since he is nominally the most important prisoner, he is kept in a prison within the mansion... … is a setting.
‘Where should I put it later?…….’
Of course, I am the commander of this front, and I am also the lord of this city..
I can blindfold you and keep taking you like this, but.
It is clear that there is a potential problem. From now on, where will it stay and how will it be called??
Thinking about it, I stood in front of the door of the room where Aigis Special Task Force 8 was staying..
Knock, I knocked and pushed the door..
“grow. went into…….”
And I opened the door a little and.
“It's a bed, it's a bed! It's a bed-!”
“This is the first proper accommodation?!”
“It's fluffy! Soft and fluffy! fluffy!”
……I saw special forces running around and playing on the bed..
i froze.
“The rice was delicious too!”
“It was delicious, it was delicious!”
“I don't know how long it's been since I last had a proper meal.!”
“I want to eat more! They won't give me a snack?”
The special forces members talk like that and eventually start cackling and fighting with pillows..
I was staring at it in bewilderment..
this… … What on earth is going on??
“omg?”
Then one of the task forces noticed my presence..
“Me, Your Highness?!”
“what?!”
The next moment, the five of them rolled over and fell down the bed, and in an instant, they knelt down on one knee in front of me..
“Are you here, Your Majesty?.”
God Hand spoke in a voice full of strength. No, even if you lower your voice now.
“Even if you pretend to be serious, it's already too late……?”
“I don't know what you're talking about..”
Godhand answered in a dry voice. But there is a pillow feather on his head..
“We are the Aegis Special Task Force. As a cold-hearted killing machine without any emotions…….”
“No, it's okay..”
I waved what I was holding in my hand. I was just warming up the leftover food in the kitchen..
“Do you want to have a late night snack? Don't tell me?”
The eyes of the children dressed as special agents glowed like beasts..
