Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 84
◈ 084. [STAGE 4] Gust
Monsters of the past have appeared, filling the horizon..
But this time is different.
sky.
Under a gloomy, pitch-black sky that looks as if it might rain at any moment.
Monsters even blacker than that flew in formation..
I swallowed dry saliva as I looked at the scene through the telescope..
It seems like huge dark clouds are gathering..
[Enemy Information - STAGE 4]
- Lv.? ??? : 2 bodies
- Lv.15 Rock Gargoyle: 360
- Lv.20 Steel Gargoyle: 242
The number is six hundred.
One individual is the size of two or three adult males combined, so the visible intimidation is much greater than the number indicated..
“They are coming.”
Lucas, who was standing next to me, didn't bother to tell me one more time. I lifted the corners of my trembling mouth and smiled..
“Wait, you damn monsters..”
I looked to the side..
To my left and right, cannons and ballistas lined up on the castle walls..
Everyone is ready to fire and waiting for the monsters to come into range..
All of Crossroads' regular soldiers were assigned to cannons and ballistas..
Because firepower had to be projected throughout this defense, one cannon and one ballista were distributed to each team of four people..
If you keep firing throughout the battle, one of the cannons or ballistas will inevitably break down..
I have to shoot something else then..
You have to maintain your reputation somehow..
That was the role of ordinary soldiers..
Clap, clap, clap.!
The newly installed automatic defense turret in the center of the defense line turned its heavy gun barrel and let out a menacing sound..
Although it takes a while to reload, the automatic defense turret, which fires heavy magic bullets, can deal effective damage to gargoyles..
He will play an important role in this defense battle..
Three parties were stationed in the center of the castle wall..
1The main party that has crossed the line together so far.
Immediately after that, in the second line, is a new sub-party. shadow squad.
In the final third line, the final reserve unit is made up of five N-rank heroes brought in one or two at a time..
These three parties will clash and fight against the monsters that have broken through the fire net..
After taking a final look at the situation on the walls, I looked again at the sky on the other side..
The gargoyles were approaching at an alarming speed..
The monster's characteristic red eye glow flashes under the dark cloudy sky..
No matter how much I look at it, I can't get used to the looks in those monsters' eyes..
“It looks like it will rain soon.”
Lucas muttered as he looked up at the dark cloudy sky..
“I don't know what kind of variable this weather will have in the battle..”
“I don't think it'll work out well for us..”
I spit out bitterly..
“Well, what can I do? Whether it rains or snows, what we have to do is the same.”
Kill monsters, protect people.
That is the purpose of this monster front and the meaning of its existence..
I raised my voice as I was hit by a wind mixed with moisture and hostility..
“listen to everyone!”
All the soldiers standing on the wall looked at me at once..
“I won't talk too much.”
I grinned..
“Kill them all and eat your fill for dinner! Let's sleep with our feet stretched out.”
Oh oh oh-!
The soldiers raised their arms and cheered. I jerked my arms up..
“All forces, ready to fire!”
The monsters are right around the corner.
I waited until they were fully within range, then I shouted..
“launch-!”
Lucas and the soldiers of the Twilight Legion took my command and repeated it..
“Fire! Develop a fire net!”
“shoot!”
“shoot-!”
The next moment, guns were fired all at once from the gun ports lined up in a row..
pop! Bubbling bubbling!
patter……!
The cannons spewed fire, and crossbows were fired from ballistas..
A shower of cannonballs and arrows rained down on the gargoyles flying horizontally across the sky..
After a moment of silence.
Kwagwagwagwang-!
Japanese landing.
The shooting of the cannon and ballista, whose angles had been carefully adjusted in advance, was accurate and hit the monsters flying through the air beautifully..
Sparks and smoke were scattered in the air like a fireworks display..
In an instant, everyone on the castle wall stared into space, filled with anticipation..
I was hoping that maybe the monsters would have been wiped out with this one shot..
but.
“……!”
When the smoke cleared, those expectations disappeared like a mirage..
The Gargoyles Are Alive.
Even after being hit by hundreds of shells and thousands of arrows, he looked fine without a single scratch..
They were flying toward the castle wall while maintaining their formation. Anyway, they were damn strong bastards..
one of the artillerymen shouted at me..
“The attack doesn't work!”
“Does not matter!”
I shouted out loud.
“Don't care if it works or not! You guys just focus on shooting! launch! keep firing!”
Although they were not taken aback by the enemy's strong appearance, the soldiers eventually regained their composure..
If you give them a goal to achieve right in front of them, the soldiers will not go out of control..
launch. only fire.
“Just focus on maintaining your fire! shoot-!”
pop! Bubble bung!
patter!
Cannons and ballistas constantly fired bullets..
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo-!
As soon as they entered the range, the automatic turret raised its huge gun barrel upward and began pouring out blue-green magic bullets..
A storm of gunpowder and metal raged continuously, until finally.
Crumbling…….
Crunch?!
The gargoyles' advance has stopped..
Those who were flying in a straight line as if there was no resistance stopped one by one..
As the fierce fire broke out, we could no longer move forward..
This is exactly what I was aiming for.
It doesn't matter whether there is damage or not.
Pushing them back with pure mass and physical force.……!
Kwasik!
It was then.
A crack appeared on the body of a gargoyle who had been hit by hundreds of rounds of fire at the forefront.,
pop! bubbling……!
It was unable to withstand the fire and was destroyed..
Without realizing it, I clenched my fists and cheered..
“yes!”
Having high physical defense does not mean you are invincible. Although it is decreasing, the damage itself is accumulating..
Several gargoyles, hit by the endless and endless fire nets, were unable to withstand and broke apart and fell..
The soldiers' faces lit up..
not meaningless.
This attack clearly works.
“They are pushed out! Keep spraying the fire net! maintain barrage!”
“yes!”
As shells and arrows continued to rain down, the battered gargoyles eventually gave up their advance..
And the center of the castle wall, where the fire net is relatively light..
We naturally changed the route to a place where the road was opened intentionally..
Crunch!
Crumbling-!
The gargoyle troops that were approaching in a horizontal line spread out to the left and right changed their formation to a column..
And then, they all started flocking to the center of the castle wall..
“That's right, you idiots!”
When they got involved in the plan, I burst out in joy without realizing it..
“lily!”
“I know!”
Lily extended her hand towards the alchemists..
“Gust Artifact! activated!”
“Activates!”
“Artifact activation-!”
The artifact was activated along with the alchemists' chorus..
Kwaaaa-!
The wind magic rushed in fiercely..
Grade R Gust Artifact.
There is no great effect. It just shoots wind magic straight ahead..
But that's enough.
It's enough to devour the low-grade wind magic on the gargoyle's wings. It's not enough, it's overflowing.!
Crunch?!
Crumbling……!
A sudden gust of wind stole the wind magic from the gargoyles' wings..
The gargoyles, who lost their lift, floundered in the air and eventually began to fall..
bang! Coogung! Kugwagwang!
I was thrown down like a thrown stone..
Most of them fell to the ground in front of the castle wall, but some flew as far as the outer wall of the castle wall and crashed..
Kwasik! Kugu Palace……!
Those who were pinned against the castle wall had their heads smashed..
Even the walls of the castle were not spared from the heavy fall. The steel plates on the outer wall were bent, and the castle wall was broken, scattering debris..
Does not matter.
Wasn’t the wall originally built to block monsters? I don't mind getting damaged while trying to stop a monster.!
As the leading gargoyles fell helplessly, the entire gargoyle army stopped moving in an instant..
If you spread both wings, you will be hit by a fire net, and if you try to penetrate a point in front, you will fall..
‘Now, how are you going to react??’
I moistened my dry lips with my tongue..
‘If you guys are monsters, there's already a set behavior pattern to follow.!’
Kill the closest human being with the shortest route..
The nature of monsters is determined that way. And this time was no different.
Crumbling-!
The gargoyles' metal-scraping cries rang out in unison, and they spread their wings wide..
And rush.
They chose to break through to the center of the castle wall, and fired all at once through the air towards this direction..
Before being swallowed up by wind magic and losing lift, he began a hand-to-hand assault based on the momentum fired like a bullet..
I screamed while glaring at the hail of bastards..
“This is the place to win! You can never be pushed away!”
I reached out for Lily..
“Lily! How long does the gust artifact last??”
“First artifact, 20 seconds to go!”
“1Not even a candle should be empty! As soon as it's over, activate the second artifact right away.!”
“All right!”
Lily, who was checking the time with a nervous face, quickly gave orders to the alchemists..
“Gust Artifact, second! activated!”
“Activates!”
“activated-!”
Kwaaaa!
Second gust artifact turned on.
At the same time, the first artifact stopped working, but released a residual wind, which combined with the wind from the second artifact, produced an even bigger wind..
Blocked by a wall of fierce wind, the gargoyles were unable to get close to the castle wall and fell into the rainwater..
bang! Kwasik!
The sound of monsters being smashed was refreshing..
But - the ones who managed to get through this evil mess and reach the castle walls began to appear one by one..
Kugoong-!
A huge gargoyle clings to the edge of the castle wall..
Its strong two arms grasped the end of the castle wall and slowly dragged its large body up the wall..
Crrrrr-!
A ghastly howl came from the monster's mouth..
And the next moment.
False!
Wow-!
Lucas' foot kicked the monster's jaw, and Evangeline's shield struck the monster's forehead..
Crumbling……?!
The monster left a futile scream and fell down the castle wall..
Quaguagwang!
There was a scary splitting sound from down there..
Before I could cheer and say that I had done well, gargoyles continued to attach themselves to the castle wall..
thud! Coogung! thud-!
In front of the monsters climbing up the castle wall one by one, the duo of SSR level knights simultaneously relaxed their necks and shoulders..
“Don't leave the right one to me. miss.”
“I can block everything up to the left. mister.”
Lucas drew his long sword, and Evangeline deployed her cavalry and shield..
Gargoyles rushed in, brandishing vicious weapons in their hands..
Facing those monsters, my two knights grabbed their respective weapons and charged head-on..
