I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 180

◈ 180. [Side Story] Victory Celebration Party (4)

Jeruck. that buck

Five shadows approach.

Team 4 of the Aegis task force slowly approached the wagon, cutting through smoke and dust with crossbows held forward.

These are professionals who have been dedicated to assassination missions in the imperial capital.

They were killing machines skilled at killing an opponent without blinking an eye, no matter what gender they were, how old they were, how they cried, or how they begged them, if they designated a target to be eliminated from the upper level.

Two people caught in the trap this time.

Since the entire wagon was overturned, he must be out of his mind.

After getting rid of it quickly as usual, destroy the evidence and leave the place –

It must have been such a strategy.

Tuhak-!

The operation went awry from the start.

It was because Elise jumped out like a cannonball through the dust in the thick smoke.

“… ?!”

The agent who was approaching with a crossbow at the forefront widened his eyes at the unexpected situation.

In the hand of the maid, who fluttered her ultramarine blue bobbed hair, was a blunt decapitation sword with a rectangular blade.

Pooh-!

And with that sword, he immediately decapitated the frontline agent.

Push! Push!

Patter-!

Other agents indiscriminately shot crossbows at Elise.

The arrows rained down, and the smoke and dust that had filled the air tore into rounds following the arrow’s trajectory, then filled up again with a thick cloud.

Elise calmly held out the swordsman she was carrying on her back and used it as cover.

Ting! teeting!

The outer surface of the coffin had ugly scratches, but the arrow could not pierce the coffin.

Chunk!

Elise opened the swordsman from side to side and drew two daggers from within. and threw forward.

hooked! Fu-wook!

“Ouch?!”

A dagger was lodged in the second agent’s neck and forehead. The agent fell flat.

And at the same time as the dagger was thrown, Elise was running.

In both hands, along with the original decapitation sword, there was another long, thin rapier.

Push! Push!

The agents fired the remaining arrows at Elise, who was running. but.

Chae Chae Chaeng-!

Without blinking an eye, Elise swung her rapier and removed all the arrows.

Denggung-!

Approaching the third agent, Elise swung the decapitator and cut her throat again.

After that, he turned his body once and gathered the rotational power – and threw the decapitation sword.

Pooh!

Spinning like a windmill, the thrown decapitation sword lodged in the upper body of the fourth agent as he was loading the crossbow.

The agent was pinned to the wall, spraying blood in all directions.

Elise breathed and looked at her last opponent, and at that moment an arrow was flying right in front of her nose.

“-!”

Elise swung her rapier with her transcendent reflexes and struck the arrow.

But that was a mistake.

The arrow fired by the last agent was the same as the one that broke the carriage. Explosive magic was enchanted.

Kwakwawang!

A large explosion occurred from the rapier that blocked the arrow.

Staring at the thick smoke and dust again, the last agent calmly loaded the next arrow.

he didn’t care That maid was no slouch.

‘You have to be careful and make sure to finish it. Otherwise, I will suffer.’

It was then that the agent moved forward cautiously, one step at a time.

“Expulsion of the swordsman.”

Whoa!

Amidst the smoke and dust, magical light suddenly flashed. Surprised, the agent fired arrows at it. Push! Push!

However, the one over there was not Elise, but the swordsman. It was only that the swordsman, activated by Elise’s brother-in-law, radiated magical light.

And Elise did not miss the moment when the enemy’s eyes turned back.

Tadat!

Through the smoke and dust, Elise jumped out to the agent’s side.

“Sword No. 3.”

Tuhak-!

The long sword ejected from the swordsman spun and fell on Elise’s head.

Elise grabbed the sword and slammed it down.

Pooh!

The last agent’s shoulder to his side cracked and blood poured out. The agent fell forward and died.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

Elise let out a rough breath after confirming that all enemies had been defeated.

She was also unscathed. His left arm, which had blocked the explosive arrow with his rapier, was tattered with blood.

It seems that the lack of sensation was properly suffered.

“master!”

However, Elise ran towards the carriage without paying attention to her own body.

“master! Are you okay? master!”

When Elise hurriedly opened the carriage door, she saw a moaning serenade.

“Ugh, Elise… are you okay?”

“I am okay! Rather, the master!”

Elise quickly helped Serenade up and pulled her out of the carriage.

It seems that when the carriage overturned, it was bumped here and there.

Serenade roughly wiped the blood from her skinned knee and forehead with a handkerchief.

“The wagon… i can’t ride What do you mean?”

“One got untied and ran away, and one stayed. I’ll raise the saddle… … .”

Elise stopped moving as she tried to take out the saddle from the luggage on the carriage. Then, gritting my teeth, I looked toward the entrance of the alley.

that buck that buck… … .

At the entrance of the alley where we first entered by carriage.

Through the dust and smoke… … I saw five new shadows approaching.

Team 4 of the Aegis Task Force has a total of 20 members.

When the first execution group was wiped out, the second execution group was immediately added.

“Damn it… .”

Elise, who had gone through this, pulled the swordsman to her side and said to serenade.

“Master, those guys are going to target you. However, with my arm now, I cannot fight while protecting my master.”

“then… ?”

“I will stop them. It’s not too far from the Imperial Palace. Walk alone.”

In the distance, I could see the spire of the Palace of Thorns. It took a while, but it was within walking distance.

“Enemies will already be waiting on the other side of the alley. Just go and they’ll catch you… … Use ‘that equipment’ to get through.”

“… .”

“Don’t worry about me. I will kill them all and escape to a safe place.”

Elise glared at the approaching agents and gritted her teeth.

“master. These guys are not talking about anything. Undoubtedly, under the direct control of the imperial family… … They are the hounds of the dark department.”

“… .”

“As you said, there is only one way for the Wintersilver Merchant to survive when they start targeting us.”

Elise nodded heavily.

“Please arrive at the imperial palace and join the party. and… .”

and?

And what?

To Serenade, who didn’t know exactly what to do, Elise smiled faintly, which was rare.

It was an awkward smile, probably because he wasn’t used to smiling. With the utmost affection for my master.

“Get your hands on what you want. master.”

Said so.

“Aren’t you the richest person in the country, Master? Then you should have everything you want.”

“what I want… ?”

“yes. It’s what the owner wants. It’s not what the Wintersilver family or that damn prince wants… … .”

to live as you wish.

That was Elise’s wish.

This poor woman is not for anyone else, but for herself. To live more selfishly than anyone else.

‘I know he’s not capable of that, but.’

The future of the family, the fate of the serenade, and the life of Elise. All are on edge.

So, why not be honest about your wishes?

that buck that buck that buck

The muffled footsteps became clearer. The second execution team was now right in front of us.

“Go, master! Leave it to me here.”

“… .”

Serenade gritted her teeth and stood up. My legs, which had not yet gone through the shock of the accident, trembled.

“Elise.”

“yes.”

“You know that the debt you owe to our family has not yet been paid off, right?”

The awkward smile on Elise’s lips grew thicker at the sudden demand for debt.

“You have to come back to pay it off. please.”

“of course.”

Serenade’s hand touched Elise’s back and then fell. Elise did not look back.

Elise closed her eyes for a moment, listening to the footsteps of her master walking away, then opened her ultramarine blue eyes.

‘I have no intention of dying in a place like this.’

I will definitely defeat them all and survive to see Serenade’s face again. and… .

hooked

The next moment,

an arrow flew without a trace and pierced Elise’s stomach.

“… !”

Elise, who had coughed up blood, stared ahead with bewildered eyes.

It seemed that there was a sniper with a special skill to see the snipers flying even though he didn’t even feel it.

“okay… .”

Elise growled as she drew a new sword from the swordsman.

“At this point, you can say that you are a special agent belonging to the dark department… !”

In the next moment, an onslaught of five task force agents fell on Elise.

***

The party is getting more and more mature.

The war against the Principality of Bringer was won, the alliance with the Northern Kingdom was strengthened, and even the engagement between me and Princess Yoon was announced. It’s a ramp, it’s a ramp.

Thanks to the newly formed prince-princess couple dancing excitedly, the atmosphere at the party heated up.

Even now, when Yoon and I return to rest, the orchestra continues to play exciting music, and in the center of the grand banquet hall, each aristocratic couple enjoys dancing.

‘Everyone looks excited.’

Exhausted, I stare blankly at the scene.

Yun left to talk with the envoys of their northern kingdom, and I was sitting in my seat on the podium, catching my breath.

“Nice job Ash.”

I heard someone calling me. Looking back, it was Fernandez.

Fernandez sat down next to me and smiled.

“You wouldn’t know how happy Obama and the hyungs are just for you to do your part. You are proud.”

“What… Aren’t I too old to grow up?”

Fernandez reached out and mischievously tousled my hair, which looked grinning.

Leaving it alone, I asked.

“brother.”

“huh?”

“Is it your brother who set fire to the top of Wintersilver?”

“huh.”

Fernandez conceded with astonishing exhilaration.

“Today, your engagement was to be announced, but what if I sent a request to break up the engagement and then rejected it? I was planning on expelling the Wintersilver family anyway, so I started working right away.”

“… .”

“The real power of the Winter Silver Merchant Chamber belongs to the current owner, Countess Serenade. If you just get rid of that lady, you’ll be like a snake without a head. They say the count has gone bad for years.”

Fernandez shrugged.

“By the way, I heard that the Countess Serenade did not die in the fire? I was thinking of masquerading as an accidental death… … Whew. My kids are more sloppy than I thought.”

“so?”

I asked while trying to find a serenade that was not visible even though it was well past the estimated time of arrival at the party.

“Are you sure you sent in someone to kill him?”

“huh. I hate to go this far, but it looks like he’s coming to the party. It’s your new engagement announcement day, and when your ex-fiancé comes over, the picture is like that, isn’t it? How ugly are they even to the northern envoys? I have to stop it.”

“… .”

“So I just put in the smart guys who are good at this side. I will erase it from this world without a trace, without a mouse or a bird knowing.”

Fernandez smiled mischievously at me, who was silent, and tapped my shoulder.

“why? Are you still uncomfortable with my ex-fiancée? When did you hate that girl so much?”

“… no. Well done bro.”

Whoops! I groaned and got up from my chair.

“By the way, bro. our that… … It’s called the ‘Guardian Meeting’.”

“huh?”

“Can anyone with guardian qualifications be summoned?”

“of course. If there is such an important agenda.”

“I see.”

I lifted my head and checked where the Emperor and Lark were. Everything is within sight.

“Then I’ll summon you now.”

“what?”

“Conference of Guardians. Right Now. I want you to summon me.”

To Fernandez, who was looking at me with bewildered eyes, I spat out the words clearly.

“I have something to tell you.”

okay. I’m slowly getting older too.

Enough to be able to do well on my own.

“A very important story.”
