◈ 255. [STAGE 10] Full moon night (2)
It was as Ash realized belatedly.
Lunared planned Gyeokseok from the beginning.
It was because he had an intuition that he could not win if he honestly bumped into the defense of the monster front.
He lost a heart and was properly stabbed in a fight with an unknown before marching out.
That’s all, as soon as they came up on the ground, the entire legion had various restrictions.
A head-to-head match is clearly at a disadvantage.
Then stop fighting so messy.
As he saw it, he secretly moved some of the elites while loudly attracting attention.
Using the dust clouds and night noise raised by his subordinates, he escaped from the main unit and bypassed the battlefield from a distance.
They decided to get out of the southern wall, where the human army’s defenses were concentrated, and attack the other three gates.
The byeoldongdae was divided into three. Among them, Lunared himself decided to attack the north directly.
I rode a long way up the steep mountain so as not to be seen by them, and after a day and a half, I came to a point where I could see the north gate of the fortress.
《But what kind of rice cake is this?》
Lunared grinned as he saw the human soldiers surrounding him and thrusting spears at him.
“As expected, it’s something to live hard and see. Received this surprise gift. Kkeukkeu.》
“… .”
“… .”
The shelter guards grabbed their spears with nervous faces.
None of them were heroic characters. Everyone was just an ordinary soldier.
Originally, they couldn’t even block the front of the nightmare corps commander, and it was normal to pass out while peeing or screaming.
The morale emitted by a corps commander-level monster had that much power.
But-
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“A monster, a monster!”
“Come on, run away! Go inside the gate!”
Right behind them are ordinary people screaming and running away.
They realized that the moment they backed off, everyone would be slaughtered.
So I have no choice but to grab the window. I have no other choice but to confront them instead of running away.
Even if their fate in front of that monster is nothing more than a meat shield.
It is the duty of one who wears armor and bears arms not to run away.
Lunared nodded as she happily looked around at the people who were terrified but did not back down.
《It’s a great job, you little ones.》
Then- the claws swung.
Fu-wook! Fuhuaak-!
A bloody storm broke out.
The spear pole was bent like a can of millet, and the armor folded like paper.
My body was crushed like a pile of dirt, and my life evaporated like water droplets scattered in the midday desert.
In front of the wolf king’s blade-like claws, the noble resistance of an ordinary human was meaningless.
The guards were slaughtered mercilessly.
《I live for the struggle.》
In front of the scattered corpses of the guards, Lunared slowly bowed his head to show his respect.
“That’s why, warriors, pay your respects. Your will was quite delicious as an appetizer.”
Right after that, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of the Wolf King’s mouth.
《Now then, let’s start this meal-the massacre.》 Twenty
or so werewolves lined up behind the wolf king let out evil laughter together.
The distance from the shelter to the northern gate is short.
However, the number of citizens who were in the shelter was too many.
Citizens entering the city gate in front of each other caused a bottleneck in front of the gate.
People clamored to run away inside the walls first. People got stuck and fell and screamed.
Abigyuhwan (阿鼻叫喚).
It was also one of Lunared’s favorite sights.
The time when the werewolves stride towards the prey that is flopping around like a fish caught in a net –
Chuck.
Five humans stopped the monsters.
< < Hoh. > >
Lunared’s eyes flashed.
《Some of them are useful.》
“… .”
It was Lily and Marherita’s reserve party that stopped the werewolves.
Marherita shuddered and cast a shield spell, and Lily, who gritted it, raised a ball of flame above her head.
The other three hesitantly raised their respective weapons.
《Looks like he’s not a proper combatant, but… … what good At least it seems worth playing with.”
Dduduk. Duduk.
Lunared, who broke his knuckles, spoke to his subordinates.
《Catch and eat it.》
Twenty or so werewolves lowered their heads in unison, then straightened their backs.
visor! Chae Chaeng!
Long claws sprouted from the fingertips of the monsters. Seeing this, Lily and Marherita’s faces turned pale.
The fighting power of these 5 reserve corps is terrible.
It is the duty of those who can fight to come forward, but how many seconds can you hold off these monsters?
Kreur… … .
Creeper!
The werewolves who had been salivating at the sight of the five kicked the ground at once.
“Eee!”
Perong!
Lily’s fireball hit the werewolf in the lead.
The fireball exploded magnificently and the charred werewolf fell to the ground.
It was an outstanding power for a level 30 R-class magic attack magic. But that was it. powerless to deter the rest.
“Ah!”
“Huh?!”
The shield magic was broken in an instant, and the five of them were cornered.
The werewolves rushed at the prey in front of them, salivating.
It was then.
Taang-!
A gunshot rang out in the distance, and I threw myself
into school!
Something that flew like a beam of light pierced the werewolf in the lead.
Lily, noticing its identity, murmured.
“Matan… ?!”
What flew in was the magic bullet.
The magic bullet that pierced the middle of the forehead of the foremost werewolf passed through the neck of the werewolf next to it and was stuck in the chest of the werewolf next to it.
The three werewolves vomited blood all at once and fell to the ground.
The other werewolves, as well as Lunared, were startled.
《… What is this?”
Lunared looked at his subordinates who died from a single magic bullet and raised his angry eyes.
《Where the hell-》
Taang-!
As soon as the words fell, the next magic bullet flew in. Only then was Lunared able to pinpoint the sniper’s location.
south wall.
The magic bullet fired by the sniper from the distant southern wall, which could only be seen as a dot, was reaching this place outside the northern wall across the entire city of Crossroads.
Without losing any power!
hooked! Pooh! Pucak-!
Three of them were pierced this time. Lunared laughed as he looked down at his subordinates who couldn’t resist and died like insects.
《You do nonsensical things calmly.》
It was then.
Flash!
Suddenly, a blue magic core was teleported in the air. It was a common R-class magic core.
And
thump! Koo Goo Goo!
Bricks and pieces of wood gathered in the air around the R-class magic core – and a huge cube structure was created and installed on the ground.
It was a monstrous building with thick shield-type armor attached to its huge body. It looked very sturdy.
Lunared laughed all the time because he was dumbfounded.
《What is this again?》
***
“It’s called [Shield Turret], wolf cub.”
I murmured and let out a sigh of relief when I saw the text [Installation complete!] that appeared on the system window in front of me.
Right now, in the system window in front of my eyes, the entire castle wall is spread out like a 3D drawing.
Behind stage 2 is the defense tower installation screen that I have been using for a long time.
Around the crossroad castle wall, you can open the map like this and precisely designate the place to install.
I couldn’t use this function anywhere else, so I installed it while throwing magic cores.
Anyway, I installed the newly researched defense tower [Shield Turret] in front of the North Gate.
It is a defense tower with no killing ability. So what’s the effect?
‘Taunt and tanking specialization tower.’
Acts as a temporary tank. It forcibly draws the monsters’ attention and catches the attack brilliantly.
There is no more useful defense tower than now without a tank hero to put into the field right now.
“Don’t look easy. monster.”
I grinded my teeth.
“Even though I was caught off guard for a moment and shoveled, this is the 742nd playthrough of this game. Fuck you.”
There are, of course, plenty of tricks!
The shield turret draws the monsters’ attention and Damian’s sniping reduces their numbers. With this, a clumsy line of defense was formed.
It won’t last long, but it will buy us some time until reinforcements arrive.
‘Now, if we send defense forces to the northeast and west-‘
“Master!”
It was then. Lucas groaned.
“Their main force is attacking!”
“… !”
I gritted my teeth and looked south.
In the southern plain where the full moon shines like broad daylight,
aww!
woo woo woo-!
After reciting a long howl, the Werewolf Corps finally started marching.
It seems that they themselves were frustrated as they only stamped their feet.
The Werewolf main force began to run toward the southern wall at an ignorant speed.
‘Damn you bastards! They’re shaking it from all sides!’
But you fucking bastards.
How long have I been playing this game, do you think I can’t get through this much?
“Lucas!”
I quickly organized the situation in my head and placed the order.
“Transfer command! You take charge of the main force of the southern wall!”
“yep!”
“Party 3, party 4, and 4 wizards from the magic corps! Reorganize under Lucas! Focus on defending the southern wall!”
Leaving two reserves for sub parties 3 and 4. Fox Rabbit Kitty Piggy of the magic corps was also put on standby as a fireteam.
There are many troops, strong defense, and above all, Lucas.
Even though the enemy’s main force is attacking, there is no need to worry about the southern wall.
“Damian!”
I turned my head and ordered Damian, who was still sniping towards the north.
“Keep sniping here! Snipe mainly in the north until the citizens of the northern refuge are evacuated, but if the situation in the east and west becomes urgent, support them too! I believe in you!”
“Your prince!”
From the south wall to the north east west.
It was a crazy sniper order to entrust all four sides of the city, but Damian didn’t hesitate, and I didn’t think it was an unreasonable order either.
Damian has that ability.
“Evangeline Jr. and the Punishment Unit!”
Calling out the rest of the heroes, I gestured north.
“We go to the field! right now!”
“yes!”
“Every minute, every second is urgent! run!”
“I go first-!”
Taat!
Evangeline first climbed the wall and ran to the north like a flying squirrel, and the punishment unit rushed down the wall and started running in a straight line to the north.
After giving Lucas a few more instructions, I was about to go down the wall as well, but Junior held out his hand to me.
“Catch it, Your Highness. I’ll get you there quickly.”
“What, can you use flying magic?”
“Similar imitations are possible.”
When I held Junior’s hand, Junior created a wind and soared into the air.
Riding on the wind, it flew down from the wall to the city like a hang glider.
Landing in front of the barracks, I shouted at the soldiers rushing out instead of waiting.
“Everyone on standby! Reorganize your troops into three units! Unit 1 is at the East Gate, Unit 2 is at the West Gate, Unit 3 is at the North Gate! Execute run immediately!”
“Honorable name!”
Due to their experience in defensive battles, the soldiers had become quite agitated.
Immediately, the soldiers, reorganized into three units, started running in their respective directions.
Holding Junior’s hand again, he tried to fly away using wind magic, but Kureha limped out of the barracks.
“how… What is this, Your Highness?”
“You’d better hide in the barracks, Kureha.”
Grinding my teeth, I glared at the northern gate.
“Because I was very upset.”
Kureha followed me and looked around, then swallowed dry saliva with a surprised face.
Flames rose from the east and west gates. Black smoke rose pungently.
Citizens who fled from the shelter into the city through the north gate screamed and shed tears. The whole city was a mess.
I shuddered.
“Looks like this is going to be a pretty long night.”
