Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 80
◈ 080. [Side Story] Aegis Special Task Force Team 8 (3)
After a while.
The special forces sat in an orderly circle on the floor of the room..
I ate my late-night snack in an orderly manner with firm movements..
He chops the food with his fork in a knife-like motion, opens his small mouth tightly like a robot, puts it in his mouth, chews it exactly ten times, and then swallows it..
As if five people were synchronized swimming at the same time. repeat the same action.
“…….”
Looking at this, I feel like I'm going to pretend even though I haven't even eaten my late-night snack..
“That dick, that dick, that…….”
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and said.
“Don't be so uncomfortable, eat comfortably.…….”
“What are you saying, Your Majesty?.”
Godhand sat down on his knees and put down his fork in a right angle motion and smiled like a machine..
“We are extremely comfortable now.”
“No, I’m not comfortable, I am! I feel uncomfortable because you guys are holding each other like that.!”
At least move in a streamlined manner! Because my joints get sore when I see things like eating at right angles.!
***
Late night snack time is over..
The five special forces officers, wiping their mouths clean, are sitting upright in front of me..
“The five of us will treasure the grace bestowed by Your Majesty deep in our hearts..”
Godhand said and bowed, and the other four followed suit. I touched my aching forehead.
“No, it's a kind of grace. It's just a late night snack.”
“His Majesty the Prince personally showed generosity to us who were starving, so what else would that be if it were not the same grace as the Great Sea?.”
“Let's not talk, let's not talk…….”
Normally, I would feed him something to relax his mind and ask him various questions... … I was planning on interrogating him for aiding and abetting..
Looking at this defensive attitude, it seems impossible to get an honest answer..
Well, I probably won't open up that easily..
So, instead of asking what I originally wanted to ask, I decided to ask a side question..
“Since when were you five on the same team??”
Since the five seem to be close in their own way, the question was intended to lighten the mood by asking about each other..
but.
“It has only been a year and a half since our 8 teams were formed. However, because we were in a situation where we were managed together as candidates for the special forces. We've known each other since we were young..”
Somehow a rather heavy answer came back..
I asked hesitantly.
“Candidate for special forces? management?”
“We lost our country, we lost our land, and now the only resources left for us elves are ourselves. ‘Selling’ human resources in many ways.”
“…….”
“Children with combat aptitude are trained as reserve special forces from an early age. It is also used in small practical tasks. Then, according to the strategy established by the top, people with appropriate skills are combined to form a team..”
God Hand lowered his eyes and answered slowly..
“After being trained as a team to carry out this one operation and being put into operation,…….”
“……Discarded regardless of success or failure?”
“That's right.”
I kept my mouth shut..
‘From the perspective of the ‘humans’ and ‘empires’, this method is extremely efficient..
No matter how dangerous the operation is, it does not involve the use of precious human lives..
There is less risk. If you succeed, it's good, if you fail, you can just get rid of it..
This was done by the elves, a different race that was once the main enemy of humans. There are many different routes to take..
Politically and practically, there is virtually no risk and the benefits are easy to take. How efficient is this?.
but.
but…….
How cruel is this?.
This idea of using the lives of other races as ammunition without hesitation. how much.
“The Commander-in-Chief of the Aegis Special Forces?”
I asked cautiously.
“Who is it?”
I asked because I wanted to know whose cruel decision it was..
Godhand hesitated for a moment, but eventually bowed his head..
“What would you hesitate to tell your Majesty now? You all knew it from the beginning. To me, you just want confirmation..”
No, I'm asking this because I really don't know.…….
“The commander-in-chief of the Aegis Special Forces has been the person in charge of internal affairs of the imperial family for generations. Is currently-”
A moment of vague fear passed through God Hand's eyes as he spit out his name..
“2Prince, this is His Highness Fernandez..”
“…….”
Fernandez ‘Ember Keeper’ Everblack.
My brother who sent them to me.
When Fernandez's name was mentioned, agitation spread to the faces of other special forces members..
I caught them without missing them.
They are special forces members who are not afraid of risking their own lives..
To make even those people feel fear?.
‘What kind of person is this?…….’
Anyway, the atmosphere got too heavy, so I changed the topic..
“How about the room? I think it's worth staying?”
The faces of the special forces brightened up..
Some people wiggled their hands and glanced sideways at the cushions and pillows rolling behind them..
It looks like he's itching to touch it right now..
“majesty. We've been locked up in a death row prison for the past few months, and for the past few days we've been taken away in a convoy..”
Godhand smiled softly..
“This room is nothing short of paradise. If I can be more honest, I don't even want to take a single step..”
“No, that's difficult…….”
Avoid becoming a housewarming girl... … . When I was living as a streamer, I only used the computer in a corner of the house.…….
“Is the meal okay? I paid some attention to it, but.”
It's not that elves can't eat meat, but they're mainly vegetarian anyway..
I asked the chef to prepare a menu that included mainly vegetarian food..
The things I brought for a late-night snack were leftovers that were made that way..
“It couldn't be better than this to experience such a sumptuous feast after only eating food for prisoners. Especially since the other agents are still at the age of growing up..”
All the agents except God Hand respond in unison! and nodded.
That's a good thing. I will have to make it like this in the future..
“However, thank you very much for your consideration, Your Highness..”
Godhand spoke carefully in a serious tone..
“We just stay, eat, and follow whatever is given to us..”
“…….”
“Please be more comfortable and treat it like an object..”
no. So that's uncomfortable…….
If I were the real prince, that might be possible..
I am a small citizen of 21st century Korea. Can you treat a person like an object?.
After that, we talked a little about our future lives. Things like clothing and behavior radius.
After finishing the conversation about my immediate situation, I left the room..
“Let's keep talking and get along..”
“Thank you again, Your Highness. Have a restful night.”
Led by God Hand, Body Bag, Skull, and Burnout were all bowing politely, but only Old Girl was smiling and waving again..
Without realizing it, I shook my head again and suddenly came to my senses. what?!
thud!
As soon as I closed the door, a loud noise came from inside..
“3Is the prince a good person? Is he a good person??”
“He seems like a good person?!”
“You saved our lives in the first place! Even if you have dark intentions, it's acceptable if you do this.~”
“I also gave them a late night snack.!”
“Midnight Snack!”
“I wish I could have a late-night snack again.!”
……I guess I should move it to a room with better soundproofing..
I left the noisy children's room behind and walked down the hallway. My mind was constantly spinning..
In the end, I couldn't ask what I was really curious about..
Even if I had asked, I probably would have given a clear answer..
‘Did they really pull the trigger of the war??’
The war between the Everblack Empire and the Bringer Principality was a big event in the game..
This is because several large-scale events will occur starting from the fall of the Bringer Principality..
War refugees from the Principality begin to pour into Crossroads, and new high-quality mercenaries are also incorporated into Crossroads..
‘A large group of hostile NPCs are also created..’
The remnants of the defeated soldiers and knights poured out from the Principality of Bringer..
If absorbed safely, it will become a strong troop on the monster front here..
‘If you fail, you will have to deal with humans as well as monsters in defense battles..’
If something goes wrong, we may have to go to war with the human army..
I was able to absorb it in the game without any problems..
Although the Monster Front is a front belonging to the Empire, it had no significant involvement in the war with the Bringer Principality..
However, now the Aigis Special Task Force 8, which can be said to have been the spark of that war, has been accepted as a party..
As to what direction and what element this will serve in the future... … Nobody knows.
While thinking about that, let's turn the corner of the hallway.,
“oh.”
Lucas was hiding and looking this way..
“…….”
“…….”
There was an awkward silence between me and Lucas for a moment..
I was lost for a moment, wondering whether I should ask why Lucas was hiding here, or whether he felt uncomfortable hiding in such a small position..
Anyway, I couldn't just sit still like this so I asked..
“What are you doing, Lucas?.”
“Since His Majesty went in alone, I was preparing to rush in immediately if anything happened..”
Lucas cleared his throat and looked away..
“After all, aren't they on death row on suspicion of treason? I think surveillance is needed..”
“I have their ‘leash’ so I don’t think there will be any major problems.…….”
There is such a thing as one chance.
‘I guess I'll have to keep an eye on it for Lucas' sake..’
I raised my voice towards the inside of the mansion..
“Ader! Come and see me quickly!”
After waiting for a moment, Ader rolled towards us with a loud thumping sound. It looks like he came down from the second floor..
“Yes, yes! My lord! How can I help you??!”
I gestured toward the room where Task Force 8 was located..
“Monitor just in case, and report immediately if anything happens..”
“yes?! It's me?!”
“Then, you, the remaining manpower, will have to do it. Should we fight defensively or go on free exploration every time? We, who suffer, will do it.?”
Of course, I'm not asking you to stand guard with that weak body. It means using something systematic. There are many such methods, right??
“No, my lord knows… … These are not the kids to betray.…….”
“Yeah, I can't hear you. You're having a hard time.~”
I left the scene with Lucas, leaving Ader in tears and muttering something. This will work.
***
next day.
[STAGE 4]
- Until start: 5 days
The start of the next stage is slowly approaching..
Preparations for defensive warfare must be accelerated..
So, smithy.
“This is the result of disassembling the equipment you requested last time..”
The head of the blacksmith guild politely handed me a box..
I swallowed dry saliva and took it. please!
Even though it was broken, I replaced four pieces of SSR grade equipment. There is a good chance of salvaging a SR-grade magic core.!
‘please! please leave, please!’
I even prayed and checked the contents of the box. Did you see it??!
Degurrrrr.
Inside the box, there was a golden magic core rolling around..
“floated-!”
I screamed in joy after picking up the SSR grade magic core..
[Standard Special Magic Core (SSR))]
It may seem like a loss if you grind four and get one, but where did you get it in the first place?!
‘If we do this, we can make ‘that equipment’.!’
A plan has been drawn up on how to use the magic core..
I smiled and put the SSR grade magical core into my inventory. I'll write it well.
“And, the three horse guns you ordered have been completed..”
The head of the blacksmith guild held out equipment wrapped in cloth to me as I danced with the magic core..
Three magic guns made from three Ratman Champion magic cores.
Looks like it's finally finished.
